GENE'S DREAM TEAM Hi Everyone,
We would like to thank all of you that have taken time to show your love and encouragement to us, as we walk this journey with ALS. We are incredibly blessed to have so many people that care about us. Knowing that you care makes such a difference. Thank you, too, for reading our blog and sharing it with your friends and family. We have been overwhelmed by your response and show of love. Many of you have asked how you might be able to help us; that is the purpose of today’s post.
We would like to ask for your help in the fight against ALS! The Walk to Defeat ALS is The ALS Association’s national signature event. Each year, more than 100,000 people across the country, including ALS patients, their families, friends, and corporate sponsors join to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds in support of The ALS Association so they can continue to provide their wonderful community-based patient services and to fund their cutting-edge research programs. Last year, 2,000 individuals participated in the Greater San Diego Chapter Walk and raised over $300,000, making it their most successful year yet.
In the few months since Gene’s diagnosis we have received valuable help and support from the San Diego ALS Association. Now, we would like to invite all of you to join us for this year’s Walk to Defeat ALS! We are forming our own walk team; Gene will be our team captain and will participate in his power wheelchair, and we want you to be part of our team. Save the date:

Dear Gene & Michele,
You are definitely not "wasting" your ALS experience.
The Lord has been faithful to prepare you for such a time as this.
May His blessing continue to be upon you and give you peace as you bring His love into the lives of others.
