Until there is a CURE for ALS there is CARE
Project Main St. strives to improve the quality of life for individuals living with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). We focus on easing the financial burden often associated with this debilitating and invariably fatal neurological disease.
Two NYC Marathon Runners Help Raise $25,000 for ALS Patients!
Congratulations to David Gibson & Lauren Szczerba for completing the 26.2 mile NYC Marathon and helping to raise $25,000 for ALS patients and their families!
As promised – 100% of the monies raised were distributed by Project Main St to ALS patients in need. The $25,000 in grants included:
- $5,000 to a family of 5 for a handicapped accessible van
- $8,000 to a 66 year old woman cared for by her daughter for a home health aide
- $5,000 to a police officer, who recently suffered a dangerous fall, for bathroom renovations to allow wheelchair access
- $4,000 to a New Jersey couple for medication & other medical expenses
- $3,000 to a Long Island family for medical equipment
Thank you to David & Lauren and to everyone who donated. You have sent a message to those families living with ALS that they are not alone in their struggle with this devastating disease.
