Our family members, in the order we lost them, Betty Moore Harvey, James Moore, Jean Moore Morgan, my Mom - Karen Moore Hollingsworth, and Carole Moore Hoffman, fought ALS and/or ALS-related dementia (FTD/ALZ).
This past summer, our cousin Vonnetta was diagnosed with ALS. Now we walk for her as well.
We have more than 116 direct descendants from my grandparents Lena and Herbert Moore. ALS and/or FTD will impact our family again. We raise money and walk to find treatments and cures for all of these diseases, in hopes that future generations will not have to suffer from neurological diseases.
To all of you who have supported us in the past, THANK YOU! Your gifts have allowed The ALS Association to provide services to people with ALS in Ohio, in the form of multi-disciplinary care ALS clinics, equipment/devices, nursing and social work services, in home visits, support group meetings, and educational materials for families. Your gifts have fueled incredible research projects, which are finding more familial ALS genes and potential treatments, like Radicava/Edaravone, the first new treatment in 20 years. Currently, there are studies underway which impact those who have familial ALS with the C9orf72 gene - and as that's what we have, we are very grateful.
In 2021, we are raising money and walking for our 15th year! Our Mighty Mighty Moore teams, and over the past few years, our partnership with the Fry Guys (who donate their annual garage sale money to The ALS Association), have raised almost $126,000. We hope to raise more this year! Will you join our fight?
Please consider walking with us or making a donation AND encouraging friends and family to get involved.
As always, thank you for your generous support! Those of you who have supported us the entire way, you amaze and astound with your generosity!!
Love, Debbie
