Our team is walking in support of Heather Bridges in the fight against ALS. Beginning at age 21, now 30 years old confined to a wheelchair, uses a speaking device, feeding tube, trach and a ventilator. ALS has taken away the ability to walk, talk, write, drive and things we all take for granite. If you think of everything you do in a days time (brush your teeth, fix hair, bathe, hold a cup & drink, answer the phone, cook, even turning the tv channel) People with ALS have been robbed of these simple things. The ALS Association helps in many ways of making life better for patients and their famlies.
The staff of the ALS Association helps families in their day-to-day struggle with ALS. They offer many crucial patient service programs in addition to funding cutting edge research worldwide. Funds raised from the Walk will support those programs.
ALS is a fatal neuromuscular disease, which attacks the motor neurons making even the simplest movements of walking, speaking and gesturing impossible. Ultimately the body becomes paralyzed, yet through it all the mind remains unaffected.
