Many years ago my girlfriend, Jenny lost her mom to Lou Gehrig's Disease. It was actually three months to the day before my father lost his battle with a brain tumor. So, needless to say we have been there for eachother in huge ways while dealing with our losses. This is something that is important for me to do not just to be there for Jennay but by the Grace of God...make a difference. That's why I'm calling on all my blogger family to help. Whether you donate $5 or $50, will be a tremendous help in researching this wicked disease that doctors are STILL trying to figure out. There are some breakthrough's happening but, all of us can help push that along with our donations and hard work. I have listed a link below that you can click on to donate or to sign up to walk with us. Our team is Carol's Courageous Angel's and my name is Paige Royal.

Why We Need Your Help
Often referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. The life expectancy of an ALS patient averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.
Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries.
This crippling disease can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease though support is bringing researchers closer to an answer. In the mean time it costs an average of $200,000 a year to provide the care ALS patients need. Help make a difference and donate or join a walk today.
Anything you can do would be so appreciated. Our Goal is to reach $3000 but we pray that God provides more to help all those who are suffering find some answers and hopefully some peace.
Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this and if there are any questions...please do not hesitate to comment below.
Good night all you beautiful people out there who take their walks in Paiger's Shoes. You mean the world to me. God Bless You!
Con Molto Amore,
PAIGER

I love you! I love you! I love you! Thank you so much for helping me in finding a cure. You mean the world to me and the fact that you are involved in this means even more! My mom, my angel, could not have given me a better sister, hell, a better person, to help me get through all the times in our lives when joy, happiness, pain, sorrow have brought us together. I love you, my Paiger!
