ALS

Kyle and I are participating in the ALS walk to Defeat this weekend!
This really means a lot to us as Kyle's grandpa passed away from
the devastating disease 5 years ago. Also known as Lou Gehrig's
disease it is a disease of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord
that control voluntary muscle movement and it eventually takes
over the entire body.

Here is a video that goes into more detail about what living
with ALS is like:
