Last January of 2024, we lost our dear Susan to ALS.  Susan had been diagnosed with ALS in December 2021.  As she lived with this debilitating disease for years, we watched as she struggled.  As loved ones, we struggled along with her.  But Susan confronted ALS with grace, dignity and love.  She never lost sight of what is important...Her faith in God and her family.  Susan's faith never wavered and everyone that was close to Susan was considered family in her eyes.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe  The life expectancy of a person with ALS averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.  ALS can strike anyone.  This disease does not discriminate and presently there is no known cause or cure.

To change the statistics and to bring help and hope to those living with the disease we are supporting ALS Northwest by participating in the 2024 ALS Annual Walk.  To help ensure that no one ever hears the words: "You have ALS".

Please join us in honoring Susan and supporting ALS Northwest in the 2024 Annual ALS Walk.  You can participate by joining our team.  Team Susan.  You can join our team as a participant for Saturday, April 27th, 2024 or as a Virtual Walker or you can send a donation.  Any donation amount is greatly appreciated.  (See links below to participate and/or join).

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at jillallen833@gmail.com
