OT - Walk for ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease)

Want to help? A guy who helps out with our Autistic children at CampGonnaWannaGoAgain is asking for our help to defeat ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and need your support. There are a few ways to do so. You can come join me on October 19th (sunday morning) at 9:30 for a little breakfast (free mimosas & food) and a short walk at 11:00am. Butter will be playing afterwards for all the local yocals.

All you have to do is sign up online under my Team. If you can't/dont want to walk, you can still donate cashola. No amount is too small! You can also do that from my profile page!

Thanks for all your help!!!
