Jamie Hingston’s Difficult Journey with ALS

We are a group of family and friends of Jamie Hingston, that are raising money for Jamie, his wife, Rebecca and their children.   

Jamie is a 44 year old hard-working, humble family man who was always the first person to lend a hand or offer help to build something, fix anything, snow blow, clear debris, and now he needs our support.   

He has recently received the devastating diagnosis of ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, which is a debilitating illness.    It is an extremely rare nervous system disease that tears away at all physical functions of the body.  There is no cure or any solid explanation for who will get it and it has a 100% fatality rate.  It’s a diagnosis, three letters, that have forever and tragically changed the course of this family’s lives. 

Jamie and Rebecca are facing many challenges now.  Tasks of everyday living are becoming harder and more time consuming.   Let alone the loss of income, they are in dire need of a bathroom renovation and outdoor ramp to accommodate loss of mobility, assistance for out of town doctors visits, or future post secondary education needs for the children.   This is a dark time for the family. We can help by lightening their financial burden.  

By uniting our efforts, we can truly make a difference during this profound period.  

Our sincere thanks from the friends of Jamie, Rebecca and family.
