Doug's ALS Journey: Defying Limits and Living Fully
I was first introduced to CCALS shortly after my diagnosis. From Ron's reassuring words of "we will be here the whole way with you" to the expertise of the CCALS team, I immediately felt supported by the entire organization —thank you all!
I also was introduced to support groups and connected with others on similar journeys, which has been immensely beneficial.
I visited the beautiful CCALS Heald Center where I met friends and was greeted by the warm staff, then took time to sit in serenity. CCALS has done a wonderful job with the facility, offering those with ALS and their families a place to relax and connect with resourceful staff members.
Participating in last year’s fundraising walk, Stroll and Roll, was a deeply moving experience. I saw the scope and size of those they helped and help love. With the incredible generosity of supporters, we raised $4,000— an achievement that filled me with gratitude and pride.
Now, I am eager to embark on another fundraising endeavor to further CCALS' mission. I am determined to double my fundraising goal to $8,000 for this fundraiser. Please join me in supporting Compassionate Care ALS.
Finally, I wish to express my deep gratitude to my family, friends, and my faithful companion, Sonny (some of whom you can see in the pictures), for their support. Thank you so much for your donation.
Much love,
Doug
