Dear Family, Friends and Blue Jays fans:
As founder of Jays From the Couch, I have decided to create my own fundraising site to do my part to challenge ALS. As you know ALS is a devastating disease with no treatments or cure. ALS is a terminal disease that takes away peoples ability to walk, talk, and eventually breathe. My family has witnessed first hand the suffering this disease inflicts on people and their families. With your support, we can change all that. Your donations, regardless of size, will help us move closer to finding a way to beat this terrible disease.
Support from the Jays From the Couch fundraising site will help to create a better reality for people and families living with ALS by enabling access to support services and equipment. Funds raised will also support research so that one day soon ALS will be a treatable, not terminal disease. Many leading ALS researchers believe that effective treatment options are now a matter of when, not if and that research discovery is limited only by the amount of funding available to pursue it. This makes the Jays From the Couch ALS fundraising site an important vehicle for progress, so please support our efforts.
On behalf of my family, and the many others out there, I want to thank you for your donation, your time and your thoughts.
