Hope-JG at the White House!

Our friends, Sarah and Kathryn Caldwell and their Mom Sharon Leskanic went to DC earlier this month. Their trip had a dual purpose. They all joined ALS advocates from around the country for the annual ALS Advocacy Day held by the ALS Association. ALS Advocacy Day is a chance for families affected by ALS to meet their Congressional delegation, tell them how ALS has changed their lives forever and ask for ongoing financial support or research.

Sarah was also honored at a ceremony at the Smithsonian with the 2014 Prudential Spirit of Community award. Sarah's Dad, 56 year old Jim Caldwell died of ALS in October of last year, about a month after Sarah had raised $23,000 for the local Walk to Defeat ALS.

The trio also kindly sent us this Hope-JG photo to add to the Hope Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/TeamIsaiahHope).

How about you? Won't you show support for people with ALS, MS and other neurodegenerative diseases by making a sign like this and taking a picture from wherever you find yourself? Send it to: info@hope-jg.org or post it directly to the Hope Page on Facebook.
