September 2011
Dear Angel Fund Family,
It's hard to believe that summer is almost over, a new school year is starting, and our annual Walk of Hope for ALS is just around the corner. It's one week away!

 

We hope that you will join us at the Walk on Saturday, September 10th. Last year, we had over 800 walkers. Please help us in our fight against ALS and join us as we walk for those who longer can.

 

You can also support the other events that will be taking place in the next month.

 

There have been significant strides in ALS research. Unfortunately, we're not there yet, but we are getting closer each day. Our mission continues and you can help us unlock the key to this disease - the cure for ALS. 

 

Hope brings up together to find the cure for ALS. Please help us make hope a reality by joining us at the Walk on September 10th or at any of the other events in the next few months.

 

Regards,
Ann Hadley,
Chief Development Officer
