As some of you may already know a dear friend, husband, the mayor of Silver Creek and doggie daddy to Riley, Lily and Bug, Super Dave Faltings was diagnosed with ALS at only 50 years old. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a devastating disease that causes degeneration of the motor neurons, causing people to lose muscle control, including the ability to walk, talk, move and swallow.
Not surprisingly, the diagnosis has hit the Falting’s family hard. Prior to being diagnosed with ALS, Dave and Renee had their perfect slice of Idaho heaven. Dave worked at Silver Creek Outfitters, talking about his two biggest passions in life all day long – hunting and fishing. And the Falting’s spent weekends together on fishing adventures, surrounded by their three dogs and many friends in the Wood River Valley. An extraordinary fly fisherman, Dave could cast the tightest loops with grace and unmatched skill in any conditions. A skilled teacher and guide, he got as much satisfaction, if not more, helping other people fish. Watching this terrible disease strike such an amazing and kind person, has been excruciating for the many, many people that love Dave.
The battle with ALS is a difficult one and we would love nothing more than to return all the favors and fishing tips from Dave over all the years that we have known him. Please help us raise enough money to help Dave and Renee with the serious medical expenses associated with ALS. Despite having medical insurance the expenses are estimated to cost $100,000 annually out of their pocket. It’s in these moments that people can see the true meaning of friends and family. We ask you to please take a moment and make a donation of ANY amount to help a great cause.
Please continue to keep Dave and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
