In order for you to really understand the horrific and life changing effects ALS has on an individual, you must realize that the brain is not affected by the disease. The brain of an ALS patient continues to let the patient feel the transition from a person to a vegetable. They lose their ability to speak, swallow, write and they become immobile but all the time their brain keeps them aware of the disasterous change in their lives. ALS patients need monetary assistance from the Congress now to hasten research for the disease. My book will walk you through this horrifying disease. I have included a synopsis which is as follows:

"Connie and Joe, her husband and caregiver, travel
down the road together for fifty years. Through their fifty years of marriage the road twists and turns through periods of births, trauma, love and happiness. The final stretch in the road ends in sadness as Connie survives cancer and then contracts ALS, Lou Gehrig’s disease. In an effort to obtain a cure for her ALS, she and Joe travel Down the Yellow Brick Road to China, to meet this Wizard of Oz."
152 pages - $12.99 (paperback)
All proceeds from the sale of this book go to servicing the patients with ALS in Connie's name. But cake sales and walks are not enough...ALS needs real money \for serious research. Having been a "Prisoner of War" you do have a feeling for what these ALS patients are going through. WILL YOU HELP NOW!
