Our great-aunt Mary Gross had ALS. It's a terrible disease that slowly robs the body of function but preserves the mind, leaving the patient sort of trapped inside her own body at the end. Here's a more scientific-sounding description from ALSA.org. It strikes young and old and has no mercy, eventually killing the patient.
Poco and I challenge everyone who hasn't donated yet to give at least the minimum, $5, to alsa.org to help fund research for this disease.
And we SPECIFICALLY challenge:
Rachel Kritenbrink
Luke Bruck
Luna the Fashion Kitty
We are patiently waiting for your responses.
Poco is very civic minded...great job!
