Two months ago we lost Kim to a one year long battle with ALS. Last year our family received so much support at the ALS walk, and I know how much the event meant to her. She was weary of going, upset that she couldn’t walk the mile herself and had to be in a wheelchair, however, she met another woman there affected by ALS. She was also in a wheelchair so Kim reached out her hand and said “Wanna race?”. They connected immediately and their friendship grew as they faced the battle of ALS together at the House of the Dove.

We’re not in this alone.

There is no cure for ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. As motor neurons the nerve cells that help control muscles die in a person diagnosed with ALS, muscle control is lost. Those in later stages of the disease might become paralyzed, and ALS ultimately leads to death.With continued research at Marshfield Clinic Health System, we can provide hope for future generations. Join me and the Braun family to support ALS research!

Thank you for all of you past and continued support,

The Dolezal Family
