STUFF ABOUT ME:
WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME:
I am running the 2012 Boston Marathon to benefit the UMass ALS Champion Fund. Last year someone I have known since I was a kid and who has been a dear friend and mentor to me, Governor Paul Cellucci, announced that he had ALS. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, causes nerve cells waste away until they can no longer send messages to muscles. This eventually leads to muscle weakening, and an inability to move the arms, legs, and body. Ultimately the muscles in the chest area stop working, it becomes hard or impossible to breathe on one's own.
UMass Medical School is home to the laboratory of Robert H. Brown, Jr., DPhil, MD one of the world’s leading and most promising ALS researchers. The UMass ALS Champion Fund aims to help Dr. Brown and his colleagues pursue ALS research leads and breakthroughs right now that might otherwise take years to attract funding from traditional sources. As a result, this Fund makes researchers at UMMS better prepared to “seize the moment” when highly promising ALS discoveries are made.
I am excited about this challenge, both the physical challenge of training for and running the Boston Marathon and the challenge of reaching my fundraising goal for the UMass ALS Champion Fund. Thank you for your support in both of these efforts!
