I lost my grandmother to ALS before I was born and over the years I have lost ten relatives all to ALS. This is the 10 yr anniversary of the Ice Bucket Challenge so I have decided to participate in the ALS Association's CEO Soak to raise critical funds and awareness to help fight back against this fatal disease.
Through your gift to the CEO Soak, you help us to continue providing hope and help to those in our community living with ALS.
I am going to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to help the ALS Association make ALS a livable disease, and I'm asking for your help. Please donate to my fundraising page, or better yet, I ask my friends in Oklahoma to register to be a Soakee alongside of me today in getting soaked once again for ALS.
ABOUT ALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. The life expectancy of a person with ALS averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.
ALS can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease, yet it still costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Every 90 minutes, someone is diagnosed with ALS, and every 90 minutes someone dies from it. These facts are why we need you to help make a splash in the fight against ALS today.
