My beautiful sister Bonnie Hall Watson died of this disease on Feb 9, 2015 3 months short of her 60th birthday. Her battle was almost 2 years long... but thankfully she got to see 2 of her precious grand-babies be born. As her family we are hoping and praying for a CURE to this horrible disease so that no one has to suffer again and no family has to watch their loved one go through this. We also want to help all afflicted with ALS now to get the help they need for comfort and well being. Thank You !

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!
