Dave is a very good friend of our family and he was diagnosed with ALS in 2004. It would mean a lot if we could get a bunch of people to show up or help out.
[FONT=&quot]Dear Family & Friends, [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot] It’s that time of year again! On June 28th, 2008, the ALS walk will be held in Forest Park. We are inviting you to come join our team, “Abell’s Angels”, in honor of Mr. David Abell. He was diagnosed with ALS in August 2004, and has been experiencing many of the symptoms of this tragic disease over the past few years. There is no known cure, but researchers around the world are working tirelessly to find a breakthrough.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]WHAT: 2008 St. Louis, MO Walk to D’Feet ALS[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]WHEN: Saturday, June 28th, 2008[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Commonly known as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease”, ALS is a progressive neuromuscular disease that causes degeneration of some of the largest nerve cells, called motor neurons. Motor neurons control the movement of muscles. Slurred speech, weakness, difficulty chewing, joint cramps, and paralysis are just some of the symptoms of ALS.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]WE MUST FIND A CURE![/FONT]

If you would like to make a donation, there are two ways you can do it. Either bring your donation to the walk, or mail it to Ashley Abell
[FONT=&quot](1262 Quail Ridge Court Shiloh, IL 62221).[/FONT]​

[FONT=&quot]We have created a team t-shirt that we would like to wear to stand out from the crowd. If you would like to buy one, you may purchase it for just $10. We are placing the order for shirts on June 13, 2008. If you would like a shirt, please let us know by this date by letter or by e-mailing Ashley at abell5@charter.net. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hope you can join us[/FONT][FONT=&quot]![/FONT]
