Our Mom, Nornie, was recently diagnosed with ALS in November 2020 and passed away on April 1st, 2021. We were all shocked with this diagnosis and while we digested the news, she had already begun her battle. She waged an admirable fight, inspiring all of those that knew her with her courage and fierce determination to remain with those she loved. Words cannot convey the legacy she left with us, but in true Nornie spirit, she continued to smile, laugh, love, and find ways to stay connected with us. Despite losing her voice, she was still the biggest presence in our lives.

We need to let people with ALS know they are not alone.  ALS affects more than nerve cells and muscles, it affects families, friends, co-workers, and communities. 

With no known cause or cure, ALS challenges the human spirit and tests the courage of everyone touched by this devastating disease.

However, we can work together to create a Community of Hope that restores dreams and builds courage.  Our community gives strength and hope to our loved ones, neighbors, and friends facing the fear and uncertainty of ALS.
