MAY IS ALS AWARENESS MONTH |
Doteasy
As many of you know, I have ALS.I was given this diagnosis on December 19, 2000, just 9 1/2 months after the birth of my daughter.I try to bring this disease to light with each new person I meet, because there are still so many people who don't even know what it is, much less what it does.By clicking on this link, you will be taken to the ALS Association's home page.Last year, the focus was on our military veterans, who seem to have a high incidence rate for this disease.For an exceptionally good read, check out Falcon's Cry: A Desert Storm Memoir. |
For an exceptionally good read, check out Falcon's Cry: A Desert Storm Memoir.You may never look at our government the same after reading this Air Force pilot's words.Also on ALSA's home page you can find a myriad of links, from finding out exactly what ALS is to what you can do to help.Another good site is the ALS Association - Jim "Catfish" Hunter Chapter.If you're reading this blog, please consider yourself made aware.Please feel free to point others here, so you can help me raise awareness with people I might not otherwise reach.Thank you! |
