Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much about May being ALS Awareness Month in the media, but there is an exciting event coming up:
Why Not Tri - Wasilla Triathlon
Note: All proceeds will be donated to the ALS Association
Doesn't this just make you all want to book a ticket to Alaska?
I was a little confused when I first saw the advertising for it because it really is not something that most PALS could actually participate in, but the lady who started the event last year had a brother with ALS (he died the day before the race) and she was concentrating on the fundraising aspect.
Also, I did not first see the website myself... our daughter who lives in the Seattle area sent it to me. Need to work on getting the word out!
