Communications
From Kevin Hopkins
We did it! Thanks to your generous support we exceeded our fundraising goal of $2,500 for The ALS Association’s Walk to Defeat ALS!
As you know, this is incredibly personal to us and we are so grateful that you have helped us have an impact in finding a cure. Funds raised through the Walk to Defeat ALS go directly to helping The ALS Association provide important care services and fund cutting-edge research that will lead to new treatments.
Just recently, four new genes were discovered which will help identify new treatment therapies! Thanks to your help, the progress will continue.
Once again, thank you for supporting us in The ALS Association’s Walk to Defeat ALS. We couldn’t have done this without you!
Stay well,
Kevin and Dayday
