A Favor



A Pledge to Tammy "Educating it Forward"

I'm not asking for money but I am asking for your help. Find one (or more) persons that does not know about ALS and educate them. Ask them to also find one person and educate it forward. Let's bring this killer out of the dark and into the light.5,600 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS each year. (That's 15 new cases a day.) It is estimated that as many as 30,000 Americans have the disease at any given time.There is no cureIt kills muscles until you are trapped in your body unable to move or speak.It can hit anyone at anytime and most only live 2- 4yrs. That is why it is so silent.PLEASE help me educate it forward so awareness will happen and then we can work on a cure. Post it anywhere it may bring up questions like at work, twitter, FB or blog. You can simply tell a friend over coffee. This can work!

Thank you,Tammy

I know someone who is suffering from this disease. Her family updates us via a blog every month, or more frequently if something of note happens. It is horrible and I don't know how families stay strong as they watch it progress. It would be miraculous if a cure could be found in our lifetime.
