Hello everyone!
I have been volunteering and fundraising for ALS United North Carolina since 2005. I began when Amelia "Roxie" Shelton was diagnosed and Team Roxie was formed. We also lost a close family friend, Nellie Westbrook. While volunteering for The ALS Association NC Chapter, I had the chance to meet an amazing person, Mary Luper. She started the ALSapalooza Music Festival and a team of us are continuing the event in her memory.
**WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP**
The disease robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. The life expectancy averages 2-5 years and it costs an average of $250,000 to provide the care ALS patients need.
Please consider sponsoring me or fundraising to help make a difference! With your support we can help those affected by the disease and get closer to the cure!
Thanks so much for your continued support! It is truly appreciated.
Donna
