Spaghetti Dinner to Benefit Pappy's Protector Walk team to support the Walk to Defeat ALS (Lou Gerhig's Disease)

The

Dinner would be to support the Pappy’s Protectors walk team for the Walk to

defeat ALS which is happening at Point State park on Saturday September 7th. 

All proceeds for the event will be donated to the walk to help find a cure for

ALS and support Western Pennsylvanians living with this disease which there is

currently no cure for.  Team Pappy’s protector is for Charles (Chuck)

Borland a 1969 graduate of North Hills High School who was diagnosed with ALS

in March of 2012.

The

Western Pennsylvania Chapter provides services and resources to persons living

with ALS (PALS), their families, and caregivers in 31 counties in Central and

Western Pennsylvania.  Our mission is to lead the fight to treat and cure

ALS through global research and nationwide advocacy while also empowering

people with Lou Gehrig's Disease and their families to live fuller lives by

providing them with compassionate care and support.

More than just a trek around Point State Park,

the Walk to Defeat ALS® is an opportunity to bring hope to people living with

ALS, to raise money for local patient care and equipment loans while funding

research.  The Walk to Defeat ALS® is the ALS Association’s most

successful annual event, which raises funds to sustain services and support

research for much of the next year, right in the Pittsburgh area where the

services are provided
