Walking the Walk

Last year my mom's family formed "Team Jane" in memory of my Aunt Jane who passed away from ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease). My aunt was diagnosed with ALS in December, 2007 and sadly passed away in June, 2008.

.

There are several "walks" around the nation. Team Jane walked last year for the first time in Rochester, MN and we plan on doing this again this year. The goal is to "Walk to Defeat ALS". We came in 2nd last year for teams that raised the most money. We hope to be just as successful this year.

.

I don't know how familiar you are with Lou Gehrig's disease - but there are no good words to describe how hard it is to witness a loved one dealing with this disease. ALS "slowly robs the body of the ability to walk, speak, swallow, and breathe. Every 90 minutes another person loses their battle with ALS."

.

Team Jane is walking again on September 12th here in Rochester, MN. If you are interested in helping raise money for this cause, you can click on the link below to access our website. Thank you in advance for your help - it means alot to my entire family!
