Last year I participated in a walk for ALS. With the help of Yellowbullet, I raised over $2,000. I walked because my best friend's mother was diagnosed with ALS. Yesterday, my friend's mother died, thus ending her battle with the disease. This year my walk will be in her memory.

Please help me raise money for this years walk. I know times are tough, but no amount is too small and all the help we get is truly appreciated.

Follow this link to my ALS homepage and donate from there. You can also find me at the track.

Thank you, very much.

Ms. Beebe, keep up the good work. I hope this won't be your last money raising efforts now that your friend is gone.

I have ALS and its truly one of the least underfunded research efforts there is for illnesses that take people from us at a rate far faster than cancer, aids or anything else. More than 1 in every 1000 people in America have ALS and that number is rising still at an alarming rate. (pre WW2 those number were 1 in every 15,000)

This will not be my last walk for ALS. My friend's mom had the genetic kind of ALS and her father had it too. So now we "wait" for my friend or her kids to get it? No thank you. I'll walk everyday to raise money just so I don't have to see my friend or nephews go through this.

Thank you for your support.

Great Cause

I will get the money to your hubby like I did last year. You are a good person Mrs. Beebe. I checked the website and am looking forward seeing the top blow off of your "thermometer"!

 

[MrsBeebemotorsports]

Thank you. This year's walk will be a sad one though.

"More commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is a progressive, neuromuscular disease that is characterized by a degeneration of the motor neurons; the cells in the brain and spinal cord which control muscles. As the motor neurons die, the muscles weaken, affecting the ability to move, speak, swallow and breathe. Through it all, the mind remains fully aware. As of today, there is no known cause or cure for ALS, although there are many promising research programs."

It robs you of your body, but not your mind. So while you can't talk, can't move and have to wear a diaper you are fully aware of everything going on. And the entire time this is going on, your family gets to watch you die a slow and painful death. Sorry, I'm a little sensitive about this right now, I have to go to the funeral today.

WOW I guess I had no idea that's how it worked what a terrible way to go. Thank you for the information and I'm sure it's very hard seing someone with this disease as it progresses. We will pray for the family and freinds to be strong and pull through this tuff time.
