HELP FOR MY SISTER PEGGY, BATTLING ALS

Donation protected
As some of may know, my sister Peggy received the shocking, devastating and life changing diagnosis of ALS (Amyotrophic lateral Sclerosis …or Lou Gehrigs Disease). This last year has been a life changer for Peggy and all who love her. She has had to learn how to deal with a new way of life. Not easy for someone like her. An avid marathon runner for 22 years. THERE IS NO CURE!! ALS robs people of their ability to walk, talk, eat and breath. Insurance only covers a small portion of what she will need on a DAILY basis. Things that you and I take for granted. She soon will be unable to work. I decided to create this go fund me campaign to try and help ease some of this tremendous burden placed on her, and to offer her love and support just as she always has for family, friends and community!! So while scientists continue to try to fund research and (God willing) one day find a cure?, maybe we can all rally together for Peggy as she is forced to navigate this new way of life. Each and every little bit helps. Im hoping to raise some funds to help ease her burden, but would like this kept secret for now, as we would like to surprise her. With ALS being 100% fatal and life expectency at 2-5 yrs. Peggy was diagnosed in early 2021. Maybe we can give her some happiness with this surprise. Most importantly please keep Peggy (and her family) in your prayers! We just recently lost our father as some of you know, which also has devastated our family. I will check in on here every now and then with updates on her condition. Thanks everyone! With Love, Linda Hinkle (Pegs sis) her mom Sue, and the entire FORT family!! (Remember shhhh its a secret, and I want to give Peg her privacy as well) . For anyone reading this who doesnt know Peggy? She was only 55 when diagnosed!!
