ALS Living - The Bishop's

In March of 2001 at the age of 35 we received Steven’s diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known Lou Gehrig's disease, and our lives were forever changed. 

After the initial shock and fumbling between reality and the unknown, we realized that our dream of growing old together and everything that goes with it was not likely to happen.  It took us awhile, but with some soul searching and inspirational events we decided that we needed to live with ALS, not die from it. 

Enter our new life mission:

1)      Raise public awareness of ALS
2)      Raise funds for ALS research
3)      Provide help and hope to those affected
4)      Encourage people to responsibly plan for the future   

Steven has an extremely slow ALS progression and we are banking on ALS TDI to find the cure in his lifetime.  With your help, they can do it.  We would like to say thank you for the continued support of our family, friends, and the people from the multiple organizations dedicated to servicing the ALS families and finding a treatment and ultimate cure for this horrific disease.

We are asking you to get involved in our fight...mentally, emotionally or financially.  You see the drug companies aren't going to make any money on finding a treatment or cure for ALS.  There are only 30,000 cases in the US at any one time.  That's because we keep dying off!  For every new case that is diagnosed, one of us is gone.  We need the help of people inside and outside our ALS community to get the attention of the government and the general public to fund research and promote awareness for ALS.  Will you help us?
