Dear Friends and Family
As some or many of you may have heard. We lost my kind giving and caring sister to ALS after a heroic fight in February this year.
Last year Laura and I started a team called Winks Warriors for the ALS Canda Plane Pull. The team's name was chosen as She was Wink (a nickname given to her by our father). And we saw how she was fighting ALS, as a warrior would fight an evil foe. Sadly, ALS is and Evil Foe that no one has defeated yet. Watching my sister suffer with ALS and the insane amount of care she needed in the final months and the stress and strain it put on her family. ALS needs to be stopped!!!! And until then people suffering with ALS and their families need our help to get through this hell.
The Plane Pull has been virtual due to Covid for the past two years. We are hoping for the real thing next year. Look out I may be calling on more than your pocket books as we may have to pull a plane next year. Any support to our cause will mean a lot to us and all the people helped in so many ways by ALS Canada
ALS CANADA Also supports research in the treatment of ALS and advocartes that new treatments be made available to Canadians with ALS
For those who donated last year I am very grateful.
I hope this finds you well and feeling generous to a great and worthy cause
David Laura and Family
We Miss you WINK
This fall, our team will be participating in the virtual Plane Pull to End ALS.
Normally, our team would try to pull a 37,000-pound plane for 100 metres to raise much needed funds for the ALS community.
And this year, the task remains the same: challenge ourselves physically to support the ALS community. We might not be pulling a plane, but we’re still pulling for change.
As our contribution to the virtual Plane Pull event, we will be participating in a 3-week Skills Competition, building our strength and fundraising on behalf of those who need our support the most, especially during this difficult time. ALS is a devastating disease that causes gradual paralysis with no cure. We need your help to invest in community-based support, advocacy, and research for a future without ALS.
Please consider supporting our team by clicking “Donate Now” to make a secure online donation.
Let’s pull together to end ALS. Thank you so much for your support!
