On February 23rd, 2022, Craig’s life changed forever. He was diagnosed with ALS. Even with this affliction, he knows he is one of the luckiest people on this earth. Craig has traveled the world, made music with some of the greatest people and musicians around, and has literally thousands of friends he has met over the years. Despite ALS, Craig is a blessed person indeed!
God has chosen Craig to carry this burden, and he is doing so with strength, courage, and faith. God has a reason, which none of us will understand, but perhaps it is not our place to understand. In the absence of understanding, Craig will carry this with him until his time on earth is over. He has accepted that and has given his life to God. Let His will be done.
Craig has an amazing family and so many great friends that are walking this journey with him. With their help, and the grace and mercy of God, he will make it! Craig’s motto is “I am not going to die from ALS. I am going to learn to live with ALS and live each and every day to my fullest.”
Craig asks for your prayers. The power of prayer is amazing, and he truly feels it is working in his body. Please, if you are willing and able, do pray that Craig’s disease will not spread, or at least that it will spread very slowly so that he may live a productive and purposeful life for many years to come.
Craig also asks for your help in reaching our fundraising goal. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by 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. Join the movement to provide help and hope today!
