ALS walk
Friday, August 14, 2009
The Walk to D’Feet ALS will take place beginning at 8 a.m. Aug. 22 at Jones Park. Chances to win a quilt will be sold as well.
The money raised from the walk will go to the Keith Worthington Chapter, which covers two-thirds of Missouri, all of Kansas and all of Nebraska. The chapter provides professional patient services, monthly newsletters, medical equipment loans; support groups for patients, care givers and survivors; educational materials and a reference library, and in-service training.

ALS is a neuromuscular disease that is 100 percent fatal. There is no known cure for ALS and it can strike anyone
