To all C-brats

Most of you know that A group of us C-brats participate in the fundraiser Walk To Defeat ALS.

In Memory of Dee Gonser, who died of ALS , Lou Gehrig's Diseases on January 2013. just over a year ago.

Dee was married to Don Gonser of the Knotty C. very active c-brats. We walk to support Don and his family to raise money for research and for patient support.

This year the walk is September 20th, in Vancouver. In two short weeks.

This disease has also taken our Aunt Sheila Watson the year before. and a coworkers son. This disease also took Patty's Dad of daydream.

If you were thinking of donating to our team this year now is the time

Please take a look at our website for the walk. Tom and I , and Don have personally witnessed the amazing things this organization does to directly help the families of those afflicted. The ALS association provided high end power wheel chairs to both Dee and our Aunt Sheila while they waited for health insurance to catch up and pay. Sheila also received an ipad with voice programming so she could talk with us, doctors and nurses.

our team is Dee's Wing Walkers

and a Big shout out to Amy Frazey of the c-brats who has been fundraising for this event for weeks. She is an amazing woman, dedicated to this organization and I am SO looking forward to walking with her at this event

here is the team web site to donate

we can't make the walk this year but it's not to late to donate to a worthy cause, I best be clicking on over to the Dee's Wing Walkers link. ALS was never on my radar until Dee became a victim, now, it surprise me how many people battle this and how little funding goes to research.
