Fundraising Honor Roll
|
||
On October 2, 2010, We will be participating in The ALS Association's March for ALS. The University of Texas Longhorn Band and the Pride of Oklahoma will work together at the Red River Rivalry to help raise funds to support this very worthwhile cause. We have accepted this challenge to raise funds to help The Association accelerate the discovery of the cause and cure of Lou Gehrig's Disease, and to provide programs and services that are so desperately needed by ALS patients and their families.
We need your support. We am asking for your support by making a gift to The ALS Association or by joining my team.
It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause by making your tax-deductible donation online by clicking on the "make a donation" button.
You may also choose to send your contribution in the form of a check. Please make all checks payable to The ALS Association and send them to me or directly to The ALS Association at the following address:

Why We Need Your Help
Imagine: as you are busy with your career, your family, and your community responsibilities, you become unable to speak well. You fall inexplicably. You have trouble picking up papers or using a pen. You tire very easily. You seek medical counsel, but are given no satisfactory answers. If you can imagine this, then you start to understand the beginnings of ALS, or Lou Gehrig?s Disease.
Unfortunately, it gets much worse. Relatively quickly, usually within two years, the patient becomes unable to speak, to move, to swallow. Finally, the patient becomes unable to breathe. Most patients die within five years. Yet, through it all, for the vast majority of patients, their minds remain unaffected. Essentially the ALS patient's mind is trapped inside a helpless body.
Thank you again for supporting us in the fight against ALS!!!
Hook 'em!!
