The Golden Wave Band is participating in the March for ALS and is trying to raise funds for the cause. Below is the information provided to us by Dr. Odajima if you would like to make a donation!
On October 2, 2010, Baylor University’s Golden Wave Marching Band will participate in The ALS Association’s March for ALS. The Golden Wave has recently accepted the challenge to raise funds to help The Association accelerate the discovery of the cause and cure of Lou Gehrig’s Disease, and to provide programs and services that are so desperately needed by ALS patients and their families.
Why We Need Your Help
Imagine, as you are busy with your career, your family, and your community responsibilities, you become unable to speak well. You fall inexplicably. You have trouble picking up papers or using a pen. You tire very easily. You seek medical counsel, but are given no satisfactory answers. If you can imagine this, then you start to understand the beginnings of ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
Unfortunately, it gets much worse. Relatively quickly, usually within two years, the patient becomes unable to speak, to move, to swallow. Finally, the patient becomes unable to breathe. Most patients die within five years. Yet, through it all, for the vast majority of patients, their minds remain unaffected. Essentially the ALS patient’s mind is trapped inside a helpless body.
ALS has had a direct impact on the lives of the students within the Golden Wave. We have current members who have siblings or parents diagnosed with the disease.
We need your support! We are asking for your support by making a gift to The ALS Association or by joining our team.
It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause by making your tax-deductible donation online by clicking on the “make a donation” button. Any donation will help.
PLEASE CLICK HERE to visit my personal page. It has a short video about ALS (with the same information I’ve posted above) and a link to make a donation.
You may also choose to send your contribution in the form of a check. Please make all checks payable to The ALS Association and send them to me or directly to The ALS Association at the following address:
The ALS Association
ATTN: March for ALS
1231 Greenway Drive, Suite 270
Irving TX 75038
Thank you again for supporting us in the fight against ALS.
