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.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)
You can make a check out to ALS of Michigan and get it to me at the track.I don't see the lock symbol at the bottom of the page or a Verisign logo. Just curious as to how secure the site is before I submit my info. Please let me know.
Thank you, again. Much appreciated.Keep up the great work Karri! Donation sent and prayers to your friends family.

"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."Karri is ALS also Lou Gerhigs? I'm sure it's not spelled properly. If not explain what it is so we can be more informed on this. Thanks.
