Dear Family and Friends:

As you are now aware my dad's battle with ALS is now over.  He would not of made the 10 years that he did with this illiness without the kind support of my mom as well as Dr. F. Kwan, Dr. Kassirer, Dr. Zinman and team at Sunnybrook Hospital's ALS Clinic, ALS Canada Regional manager Kim Barry, VON, Silvercross, the LHIN, PSWs and nurses from St. Elizabeth and VHS, the Palliative Drs and medical staff, and various neighbours, friends and family.  His quality of life and care post diagnosis would have been far worse without the support of ALS Canada. 

Contributions to ALS Canada 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. If so desired, in lieu of flowers donations made here will go directly to ALS Canada.

Much love, 

Aaron Porter
