2009 Courage Walk Supporting Dwight’s Fight
Every now and then there comes along a really great event that is supporting a great cause. The 2009 Courage Walk supporting Dwight’s Fight Against ALS is among them! This family-friendly 5K walk presented on behalf of the Gainesville Community Foundation will be held on Saturday September 12th, 9AM-1PM at Haile Plantation Village Center and you do not want to miss out!
Getting involved is so easy! Both individuals, families and teams can come together in order to raise money for Courage Walk Dwight’s Fight Against ALS and/or a gift tote bag that will be given to ALS patients and their families upon diagnosis in the Gainesville area. To be a part of this Walk A Thon you can go http://www.dwightsfight.org/ and download the form.
You may ask what is ALS? Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ASL) is a progressive neuromuscular disease that attacks motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. As this disease progresses symptoms include weak muscles leading to paralysis and inability to breathe.
With your willingness and participation in this walk we can offer patients and families much needed support and supplies.
Please visit www.dwightsfight.org for more information and registration forms! All donations and support is much appreciated! If this doesn’t answer all of your questions please contact Angela directly at the office (352-338-7577) or an email (angela@avie.biz).
