I need your support!

On February 21st, 2010 I will be running a 10 mile race in Prospect Park to raise money for my cousin and his family. My cousin, Michael, was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. ALS in a degenerative and progressive neurological disease and there is no known cure. Motor cells in the spinal cord and brain degenerate, leading to muscle weakness and loss of mobility, speech, swallowing, and respiratory function. Michael is now in a wheelchair and uses a speech assistive device to communicate. Please support me in helping Mike, his wife, Chris, and their three children, Sarah, Alex, and Lizzy, cope with this disease. Medical care, home care, assistive technologies and equipment are just a few of the mounting expenses that Mike and Chris have. Any amount is truly appreciated.

Also, click here for the ALS Association Greater Philadelphia Chapter, Mike and Chris' local ALS foundation, for additional information on how you can help families that are coping with ALS.

Merry Christmas!

Waving

Owen learned how to wave!
(Though it took a bit of coaxing...click here for more)
Also, the headband was part of his Halloween costume,
but it helps to keep food out of his hair.

Ok, so there is more than one shot, but I couldn't resist.
He may have to talk about this in therapy later, but it was worth it.
