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 and teams can come together in order to raise money for gift tote bags given to ALS patients and their families upon diagnosis.
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.
Time is running out and you do not want to miss this great opportunity to give back to the community! Visit http://www.dwightsfight.org/ right now to find out more information on how to get registered or sponsor! All donation are greatly appreciated!!
