Hey gang, thanks for clicking the link to help support families suffering with ALS. I'd like to take this time to share with you some of the things my dad has needed and has been fortunate enough to have available 

• 3 different types of power wheelchair,which are a standard 3 wheel scooter, then moved to a standard power wheelchair, then a power tilt/recline.
• A transfer belt, which he wore around his waist with handles, so someone can help lift him up as he stood/walked.
• Hoyer lift and sling. This device was used since he had no mobility, it was used to get up out of bed/wheelchair/bathroom.
• A lift recliner chair.
• Different accomidations for in the bathroom.
• Ramps and platform lifts had to be installed in the house.
• Many different straps/cuffs so he can hold utensils, when he had mobilty.
• Overbed table.
• Surgery for feeding tube.
• Respirator devices and breathing tube.
• Hospital bed

Just to name a few, so when you donate, its not just for research, its also resources for their neeeds to help keep their independence for as long as possible, and to assist with their comfort.

This summer I will be participating in the Walk to End ALS. Now more than ever, the ALS community needs our support to provide hope and help to families affected by ALS/MND. That’s why I’m joining thousands of others, a part of a passionate and motivated community to “walk” in celebration of hope and a world free of ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Please consider supporting me and donating towards this important cause.

Your support will help to:

• create a better day-to-day reality for people and families living with ALS by providing community-based support throughout Manitoba as well as necessary medical equipment like wheelchairs, liftchairs, mobility aids and other items that increase safety in the home, at no cost to those who need them.
• further scientific progress by investing in the ALS Canada Research Program, which funds promising ALS research. This program provides peer-reviewed grants to researchers whose work has the greatest potential to advance the field of ALS. There’s been more progress made in ALS research in the last five years than over the last century – we need to keep building on this momentum.

Join me in making a difference. Please consider donating to my fundraising page as we work towards a world free of ALS/MND.

Your support is needed now more than ever - we are stronger together!
