AN ALS DIAGNOSIS IS A DEATH SENTENCE.. THE LENGTH DEPENDS ON WHICH PART OF YOUR BODY IT TAKES FIRST.
As a Mom and a woman who has seen such wonderful members of the Wichita community succumb to this disease, I want to THANK YOU for your past support, both emotionally and financially to our cause.. It is not easy to ask for your financial support year after year, but funds for research might save my son and so many others.
We are so grateful for the research as well as the medical and emotional support that we receive from the Mid-America ALS Association. Help us help them make a difference and donate today.
There is no treatment for ALS and it is always fatal. Although he has lost most of the muscle strength in his arms and hands, unlike most people affected by ALS, he is still alive, and with great effort able to walk, talk, eat and continue to live and enjoy life despite his handicaps. Most other victims of this disease and their caregivers and loved ones are not so fortunate.
For the first time, after the Ice Bucket Challenge raised Millions of Dollars for research, there is HOPE in the ALS Community. Researchers are making progress. The public is beginning to recognize ALS and what a horrific disease this is.
Why We Need Your Help
Often referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease, 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 an ALS patient averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.
This crippling disease can strike anyone. Recently a cause of the disease has been discovered so we praying that a treatment won't be far behind. In the meantime it costs an average of $200,000 a year to provide the care ALS patients need. We are so grateful for the research as well as the medical and emotional support that we receive from the Mid-America ALS Association. Help us help them make a difference and donate today.
