Harold and Joanie Brown lost their daughter, Keri Brown Still (pictured), to ALS in 2008 when she was just 29 years old. To honor her and provide information and resources for others living with ALS, they formed Keri’s Crusade for ALS and partnered with The ALS Association North Carolina Chapter to host the first North Carolina ALS Caregivers Conference in 2008. On Oct. 7, the NC Chapter, Keri’s Crusade and Southern Regional AHEC will present the 12th annual NC ALS Caregivers Conference in Clemmons (near Winston-Salem), continuing Keri’s legacy and providing useful information for caregivers of all levels.

It’s unreal that it’s been 10 years since we lost Keri to ALS. We’ve kept her memory alive through the annual NC conference on ALS that has helped countless caregivers and patients living with ALS receive helpful education and information. Light a candle in memory of Keri today! 💗💗💗

9 Years ago today, Keri lost her battle with ALS. But becuase of her fight and the love of her family and friends, Keri's crusade has helped the lives of so many others living with ALS. Share this photo on your wall or light a candle at your house in memory of Keri. Gone too soon, but always in our hearts. We love you, Keri.

Keri's Crusade is looking forward to the 10th Annual NC Caregivers Conference on ALS, Monday in Chapel Hill, NC.

The conference is specifically designed to meet the educational needs of interdisciplinary healthcare teams and caregivers who work with individuals diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). ALS, also known as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,” is a progressive neuromuscular disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. The complex and progressive nature of the disease requires expert intervention from diagnosis and throughout the course of the disease.
