June is ALS Awareness Month

Thanks for visiting!

Some of you may know, or may have seen my posts. In October 2021, my sweet dad was diagnosed with ALS. 

ALS also known a Lou Gehrigs Disease is rare. Roughly 4/100,000 people are diagnosed with ALS. No cure and no life saving treatment options are available, it is a terrifying debilitating terminal disease. Affecting every muscle in a persons body. For 6 months it was a lot to come to terms with. 

However, during this time, the only thing we could really control is how we dealt with it. So, we kept saying - all we can do is take it one day at a time. Enjoy the good days, and keep moving forward the best we can. #hopeforals 

This disease is HARD. It's expensive, and for so many families as the ever changing needs of equipment, supplies, and care can cost the average patient $250,000. Most patients require the care of loved ones as 24 hour care is just not affordable - how sad is that.... not affordable.

More money needs to be raised for research, for care, and for families so that they have every inch of support that they need.

So - that's what leads us here. We are donating monthly to the ALS Society of Alberta, but for the month of June - it is ALS awareness month so we're amping it up further.

$20 from each of these tees sold, along with $10 from every keychain sold will be donated to the ALS Society as well as ALS Research.

You can also donate directly to the ALS Society of Alberta.

The ALS Society provides families with ANY equipment they may need, so that they don't have to purchase out of pocket.
