Connie's ALS Journey of Hope

Connie Roberts was recently diagnosed with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrigs Disease) and has made the brave decision to travel halfway around the world to Thailand for Stem Cell Injections into her spine and also through an IV.  These injections will hopefully slow, stop and possibly reverse some of her ALS symptoms.  ALS is a motor neuron disease that rapidly progresses and causes weakness in the muscles throughout the body.   This makes it difficult for Connie to walk, use her arms and hands and is effecting her voice and her ability to breathe easily.  While in Thailand, Connie is also getting many other beneficial treatments; Acupuncture, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Aqua Therapy, Magnetic Brain Stimulation, etc...  We hope to raise enough money to help with Connie's travel and medical expenses.  Connie is also hoping to continue her beneficial therapies once she returns home.   Connie is a young 64 year old and is retired and on a fixed income.  Her husband Jerry, and her daughter Kelly, have accompanied Connie on this trip to Thailand to help her on her journey to wellness.  Please donate what you can, any amount is helpful, and we will forever be greatful for your kidness and generosity!

Connie is an amazing wife to Jerry Roberts,
a wonderful mom to Marty Cook, Kelly Sprenger and Kymberly Raw, a fun grandma (Oma) to Kory and Christian Chopper, Colton Cook, Hayley and Jarron Sprenger and Connor Raw, a great grandma to Sophia and has another great grand baby due any day now!  She is also a wonderful daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend to many, many in this world and she is truly LOVED!!!
