Good Saturday Afternoon Everyone:
I'm home today watching ALS Walk Strong Donations come in, someone is fundraising and lots of someone(s) are responding. Thank you, thank you.
June is ALS Awareness Month and it's just right around the corner.
George used to spend his days out in the community he loved — visiting friends, sharing stories, staying connected.
Mike was involved in his community, with his children’s school, especially.
Then ALS changed everything.
But because of people like you, George and Mike didn’t lose everything.
Because you walk.
Because you donate.
Because you care.
George received a power tilt wheelchair — giving him the freedom to get outside again, to feel the sun on his face, to be part of his community.
He still visited with friends.
Mike was still able to speak to local students about resilience and what it means to face challenges head-on.
They both found ways to give back.
And at home, something even more important is happening.
People with ALS and PLS are making memories with their families.
Quiet moments. Shared meals. Conversations that matter.
Moments that might not have been possible without the right support.
This year’s Walk Strong theme is “Making Memories at Home.”
And that’s exactly what you make possible.
Because of your support, we can provide equipment, education, and care — from wheelchairs and communication devices to feeding tube support, breathing equipment, caregiver training, and more — all at no cost.
You are part of all the many wonderful and inspiring stories.
There are so many ways to help:

This June, you’re not just raising awareness.
You’re giving George — and so many others — more time at home.
More connection.
More memories.
And that means everything.
