Walk to Defeat ALS 2009

On October 10 we are participating in the Walk to Defeat ALS. Also known as Lou Gerhig's disease, ALS is a degenerative neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of it's ability to speak, walk, swallow and breathe. In December 2007 my Uncle Phil was diagnosed with ALS. After experiencing first-hand how this disease affects a family, we decided to support the ALS foundation by participating in the walk. Please consider donating to help find a cure and fund support groups and supply closets.
Interested in sponsoring us? Here is the website address: http://web.alsa.org/goto/miracleawareness

Thank you so much!!
Amanda, Scott and Audrey

  1. Just passing through and your post caught my eye. Good luck with your walk. My family just participated in our own walk. It was for CureSearch, which raises funds for Childhood Cancer Research. It was the first one ever were we are and $25,000 (plus change) was raised! Not bad at all.

    By the way, that is one BEAUTIFUL child! Some babies are beautiful only to their families and some are beautiful all the time. You have one of the latter.

  2. Hey chickie! It's been almost a whole year since you've blogged! Audrey has grown so much since that photo was taken and you've moved and have a dog now. Guess you're too busy to blog now, LOL>
    Love you!
