This past June 28th marked the 9th anniversary of me being diagnosed with ALS. 9 years of getting weaker and weaker, and losing my mobility and self sufficiency. 9 years of living with a future so uncertain that I can only live one day at a time. 9 years of letting of activities and things I love doing. Through all these years, I could never have survived without the amazing and unending love and support of my family and friends, who never fail to be there for me. I have also had the amazing support from the ALS Association. From guidance dealing with that terrible diagnosis, to support group meetings and guidance with figuring out how to adjust to life using various assistave devices and technologies, the ALS Association has been a huge help. The ALS Association is devoted to actually making a difference in the daily lives of people living with ALS. For 2 years now, the ALS Association has covered the major part of the costs of us having a professional caregiver come help us at home 3 days a week. This help makes a huge difference in my and my family’s daily life.
The help and hope that the ALS Association provides wouldn’t be possible without fundraising. If you are able to help, please donate what you can to my Walk To Defeat ALS fundraising goal.
Thank you so much,
Colton
