Here we go again, another year without a cure, and another year dreaming of the day that we can say that ALS is in the past.

In 2020, my dad was diagnosed with this debilitating, life-ending disease. it has been a long fight that we are still fighting and we can all say that ALS SUCKS!

Within the last year, there have been many changes and new challenges that our family has been facing. My dad can no longer hug us and will never be able to hold his only grandchild. His neck can no longer hold his head up so he cannot move without support. My dad's legs are now too weak to stand alone unassisted, and he can not walk so he lives in his power wheelchair, making it more difficult to leave the house or have any freedom. He has lost all independence and needs help with all the everyday tasks we take for granted.
ALS SUCKS!

My dad has fundraised and supported multiple charities, throughout our community his whole adult life. He has been a member of the Wainfleet Lions Club for nearly 30+ years as the club treasurer. However, he can no longer attend his meetings. My dad loved to sail in the summer and ski in the winter, play guitar around the fire with family, and travel to the cottage and around the world. These things are impossible to do for him now. He can no longer do the things he loves!
ALS SUCKS!

Today I am asking for your help. We are dreaming of a world without ALS!

ALS Canada does help families with the support that they need throughout this journey. They also fund research in finding out how to stop this heartbreaking disease. There’s no magic pill to stop it or prevent it from happening to anyone in your family. But hopefully one day there will be!
ALS SUCKS!

Through all of this, my dad has never lost hope, that one day there will be a future without ALS! Please donate what you can to support Team Taylor while we walk to END ALS!

Because ALS SUCKS!
