Save the date for the Columbia Walk to Defeat ALS - September 28
Our family will be walking this year in honor of our father and grandfather, Bill Davis, who was courageous in his battle with ALS.  During his struggle with the debilitating effects of ALS, Bill inspired us with his bravery and determination.  This inspiration has encouraged us to  join the fight against ALS.  To register for the walk or to donate, go to: PaPa Bill's Team.  We sincerely appreciate your support.  

What is ALS? 
Often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of it's ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe.  Presently, there is no know cause of the disease and no known cure.  

Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease.  

The walk will be held at:
Stephens Lake Park
2001 E. Broadway
Columbia, MO 65203
Registration: 2:00 pm
Walk: 3:00 pm
