Hi! Welcome to the forum but so sorry for your need to be here. My name is Kim (Skipper). I joined because my father who is 78 was diagnosed with ALS in May. It has been very hard on me to take. My mother passed away 15 years ago from colon cancer so he is the only parent I have left. My husband and I have three children. Our twins Matthew and Julie are 15 and then our youngest Eric is 9. You will find alot of useful information and support on here. Be strong we are here for you. Kim
