Miracles Happen

Second Annual Miracles Happen Golf Tournament

Saturday, October 23rd


To date, Jimmy has lost all strength in his hands and arms and is dependent on his wife Cyndi and their four children to help him get showered, dressed and fed everyday. His speech is extremely slurred and without a treatment or cure; soon he will lose the ability to speak all together. He has difficulty swallowing and is very limited to what he can eat without choking, so is now on a feeding tube to make sure he gets enough nutrition. He gets extremely fatigued very quickly.

Imagine being trapped inside your own body. Imagine not being able to hug your child. Imagine having three boys and not being able to throw a ball with them.  Imagine the thought of not being there when your daughter graduates college or gets married.  Imagine what your children may think as they watch their father continually deteriorate right before there eyes.  Imagine not being able to feed, bathe or dress yourself and depending wholly on someone else for all these things. Imagine feeling like you can't provide for your family and make sure they have what they need. Imagine wondering every day what might happen next. I can't, can you?        Let's come together and help!

About ALS

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's disease," is a progressive motor neuron disease (MND) that attacks nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord, damaging both upper and lower motor neurons.  Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed. Yet, through it all, the vast majority of people maintain sharp, unaffected minds.

It's believed that as many as 30,000 Americans currently have ALS. In fact, the incidence of ALS is approximately 2 out of 100,000 people. Statistically speaking, nearly 5,600 people each year in the United States alone are diagnosed with ALS, which is five times higher than Huntington's disease and about equal to Multiple Sclerosis.
