PLEASE HELP US HONOR MY DAD, JIM SHIELDS (aka, Pop Pop) AS HE FIGHTS HIS BATTLE WITH ALS, and also MY MOM, the love of his life and his daily caregiver! They've been together since high school and celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in January!
Dad was diagnosed with ALS twelve years ago and he has been fighting and beating the odds ever since. Mom has been there with him all along the way even through her own health issues.
With the love and help of so many friends and family, we have exceeded our goals each year as we participate in the annual Pittsburgh Walk to Defeat ALS.
THIS IS OUR 13th WALK!
PLEASE HELP US BEAT OUR GOAL AGAIN THIS YEAR!
WITH YOUR HELP, WE HOPE TO HONOR DAD and mom BY MAKING A LARGE DONATION TO THE ALS ASSOCIATION IN their honor! your donation in any amount no matter how small or large will help us defeat ALS!
Thank you again from all of us -- especially Dad and Mom! The love and support of family and friends means the world to us!
Jim Jr., Colleen and the kids -- We Walk for Pop Pop!
