My brother Mark has been diagnosed with ALS. There is no cure - yet. We'll be in Fargo June 8 to walk to raise funds for treatment, support and a cure.
Here is what Mark's wife, my sister-in-law, Lisa Falk, wrote about Mark on her page. It is so good, I want to share it.
"He is thoroughly thoughtful and open to ideas and experiences. And kind. Did I mention kind?
"This is a man of activity. He ran (set school records), he swam, he took biking road-trips and biked everywhere in town for years, he hiked everywhere he went on trips, he canoed in the Boundary Waters many years, he cross-country skied, snow-shoed, helped his sister and brother-in-law build a log cabin in the Middle-of-Nowhere, Saskatchewan. We are walking for the adventure in him and all of us.
"The great joy of his life is being a father. We live in gratitude every day for finding the loves-of-our-lives in each other (it took us decades - we were just waiting for each other). He loves his family more than anything. Truly."
Please help me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS fundraising goal! The Walk to Defeat ALS raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure. We are grateful for the wonderful support the ALS Association and ALS community in Fargo has already meant to Mark and Lisa.
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, and presently there is no known cause or cure.
That’s why we're walking. To change the statistics. To bring help and hope to those living with the disease. To ensure that no one ever hears the words: “You Have ALS” again.
The past two years have brought incredible advancements in ALS research, expanded access to care for people living with ALS, and enabled legislation that impacts the quality of life of people with ALS and their families.
But, we can’t stop now. The key to a cure begins with you.
Please consider walking with me or sponsoring me. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease. Thank you.
