The 5th annual walk is 9/30/06 Centennial Olympic Park. AS is the case continually, it is crucial to to raise moeny for this devastating diseas to find a viable treatment or better yet a cure! My diagnosis' came in March '03. I also have the SOD1 mutation which in basic terms is Familia ALS. My mother and best friend Verna, was diagnosed and died within 18 months April 2002. She was 59. I am 38, wife and mother of two. My life is full but this tragic disease is trying to beat me. I stopped working when driving safely was no longer attainable. Giving up personal independence is the greatest challenge anyone with ALS has to face. This horrific diesease doesn't discriminate. Age, race, and gender are all fare game. It affects about 30,000 ppl in the U.S. at any given time. Life expenctancy is between 3 to 5 years after diagnosis. In short, when given the diagnosis it is always terminal! The disease starts with weakened muscles and ends in complete paralysis. With the exception of the brain, the body becomes an immobile shell. Please consider donating to this worthy cause, or if you are in the ATL.. Join my team and walk with Tami's Super Friends. Blessings & Light T - Tami , posted 08/06/06 |
