Many of you know that Rick Isaacs is now free from ALS and gained his angel wings July 1, 2017. Rick and his family couldn't have handled an ALS diagnosis without the support of the local Huntsville community and global ALS community. The ALS Association is an organization of the highest quality with fantastic people. Rick loved meeting other patients and caregivers. He gained so much strength from others sharing stories and challenges knowing he wasn't alone.
The Isaacs family would like to thank everyone who touched our lives from childhood through his ALS journey. Your support meant so much to us and we will be forever grateful. While Rick has passed, Team Rick will live on. We have a lot of work to do carrying on his legacy in supporting other patients, caregivers and research to find a cure.

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.
Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries.
This crippling disease can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease yet it still costs loved ones an average of $200,000 a year to provide the care ALS patients need. Help make a difference and donate or join a walk today.
