I have learned a lot of things since June 2017. Most importantly, I have learned ALS sucks. It really really sucks.
I feel helpless everyday as I watch my mom and dad battle the daily struggles of ALS. ALS takes more than your ability to walk, eat, speak, and breath. It takes your life as you knew it. Every day presents a new challenge that you did not have the day before. As a result, I have learned that you cannot put a price on love and support of your friends and family.
But you know what you can put a price on a power wheelchair, a hydraulic lift, breathing assistance, speech devices, and making your home handicap accessible. ALS can cost a family up to $200,000 a year.
People always ask me what they can do to help and I never know what to say.
Well for everyone who has ever asked me what you can do to help - I have an answer - you can join our team as we cruise around Baltimore on April 29, 2018 with my mom leading the charge.
