💜 Herb’s ALStars is rallying with Amy’s Allies! 💛

Herb’s sister-in-law, Amy, is currently fighting Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a rare and devastating disease. As a family and a community that knows how much support can mean during an incredibly difficult time, we want to rally around Amy and her family.

The Amy’s Allies online store closes tomorrow, 9/30 at midnight. If you’d like to show your support, you can grab some Amy’s Allies gear and help spread awareness for CJD. 💜💛

We know firsthand how powerful it is to have a community standing behind you. From all of Herb’s ALStars- we support and love you, Amy. 💜

Today, Herb’s family participated in the ALS Walk at Look Park for the third year. It’s always such a special event, bringing everyone together to celebrate Herb, share memories, and honor the love he left behind.

We’re so grateful to continue walking in his memory and supporting the fight against ALS. Missing Herb a little extra today, and every day. ❤️

Herb’s granddaughter, Olivia, (with some help from her sister, Madelyn), ran her lemonade stand for her second year during our tag sale. She proudly raised $111.50 and will be donating half to Compassionate Care ALS!

We are so incredibly proud of her kind heart and her desire to give back to an organization that means so much to our family. We know “Papa” would be pretty proud, too.

Way to go, Olivia (and Madelyn!). Every little bit makes a difference, and it’s pretty special watching the next generation carry on Herb’s spirit of helping others.

Great news! Our online store is now open through August 15th, and we’ve added lots of new and exciting items for you to check out!

Every purchase helps support ALS research and awareness, while honoring Herb’s legacy. We hope you’ll wear your Herb’s ALStars gear proudly and help spread awareness for this important cause.

❤️ We’d also love for you to join us for our 3rd year walking in the ALS Walk at Look Park on Saturday, September 12th! Whether you’ve walked with us before or are joining for the first time, we’d love to have you on Team Herb’s ALStars.

For more information about joining the team, please reach out to Alicia (Team Captain) or Teresa Holl.

👕 Bonus: If you’re participating in the walk, all store orders will be delivered before the event, so you’ll have your new gear ready to wear on walk day!

Thank you for helping us honor Herb’s memory and make a difference in the fight against ALS. Every order, every step, and every show of support means so much. ❤️

We spent today with our incredible CCALS family and some of Herb’s close friends helping raise money to provide ALS families with a special day at the ballpark. Thanks to the generosity of our community, CCALS will be able to rent a pavilion suite and give families the opportunity to enjoy a memorable Red Sox game together. ❤️⚾
Help us hit ALS out of the ballpark!

May is ALS Awareness Month. As we continue to honor and carry on Herb’s legacy, we felt this was the perfect time to celebrate his life through the stories that meant so much to all of us. We’d love to hear your favorite memories—how you met Herb, a moment you shared, or something that always makes you think of him. Please share below! ❤️

This is Stella the elf. She belongs to Herb’s grandchildren, Liam, Olivia, and Madelyn. On her way back from the North Pole, she bumped into Herb and took a s-elfie with him! She left a note for the kids saying Papa loves and misses everyone and wishes everyone a Merry Christmas! 🥹🥰😇🪽🕊️
