We lost our sister, mom, grandma, aunt, cousin and friend, Lorna Payne, to this awful disease on March 17, 2008. This fundraising evening is being held in her honour. We hope that a cure will be found for ALS so that other families do not need to see their loved one go through this. We would be honoured if you would join us!!

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed. (http://www.alsa.org)
