The main event of this year's Ride for Life will be a 9-day, 160 mile wheelchair ride from the Montauk Point Lighthouse, on the tip of Long Island, to Manhattan. We're especially looking for people who can ride, walk, run, bike, or skate with us during the two weekends of the Ride: May 10, 11 and May 17, 18. ALS patients, their families, and all who care about people living with ALS are urged to participate. And you don't have to be in New York to take part in Ride for Life 2003. People from all over the country are invited to plan activities in their local communities to raise ALS awareness and funds to support research and patient services. We can show you how. Click here for more information on how you can help or take part in Ride for Life 2003. David Cone Joins Ride for Life 2003 Team We are happy to announce that New York Mets pitcher, David Cone, who pitched a perfect game for the New York Yankees in 1999, will serve as Honorary Chairman for the 2003 ALS Ride for Life. David, who is a true champion and role model, on and off the field, generously lends his talents and time to many chairities and has long been involved in the fight against Lou Gehrig's disease. David Cone is a winner and now that he's "pitching" for the Ride for Life team, we know that we will be even more successful in our efforts to strike out ALS.

    Extractions: AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS (ALS) is a neurological disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of motor neuron cells in the spinal cord and brain, which ultimately results in paralysis and death. The disease takes its less-scientific name from Lou Gehrig, a baseball player with the New York Yankees in the late 1920s and 1930s, who was forced to retire in 1939 as a result of the loss of motor control caused by the disease. In 1991, a team of researchers linked familial ALS to chromosome 21. Two years later, the SOD1 gene was identified as being associated with many cases of familial ALS. The enzyme coded for by SOD1 carries out a very important function in cells: it removes dangerous superoxide radicals by converting them into non-harmful substances. Defects in the action of this enzyme mean that the superoxide radicals attack cells from the inside, causing their death. Several different mutations in this enzyme all result in ALS, making the exact molecular cause of the disease difficult to ascertain.

    Extractions: www.alsa.org Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a disease that is commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease after the famous baseball player who died of the disease in 1941. Also known as MND motor neuron disease characterized by progressive degeneration of the cerebral cortex and spinal column. Early literature states that the onset of ALS generally begins in middle age and progresses rapidly and death usually occurs within two to five years. The incidence of the disease is greater among males. That early literature is being changed as younger people and more women are being diagnosed. As of Thursday 27. Mar 2003 there is no known cure... yet! My name is Debbie Tope. I live in Baltimore, Ohio. I have been living with ALS for 8 years. I was officially diagnosed in September of 1995 but I knew things were not right in late 1993. One of the first symptoms I had was walking down steps. I described it to the doctors as if my muscles were "shrinking." I also described the strange feeling I was having in my legs as "pop corn popping legs" most often felt in the calves of my legs. I now know them as fasciculation (twitching)

    Extractions: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), sometimes called Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a progressive neurological disease that attacks the nerve cells (neurons) that control voluntary muscles. This disease belongs to a group of motor neuron disorders (e.g., muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease) that are characterized by the gradual degeneration and death of motor neurons. What Are Motor Neurons? Motor neurons are nerve cells located in the brain, brainstem, and spinal cord. These motor neurons serve as connections from the nervous system to the muscles in the body. Imagine wanting to brush your teeth. This intention is transmitted by the motor neurons in the brain (upper motor neurons) to the motor neurons in the spinal cord (lower motor neurons). The lower motor neurons then relay the message to the muscle, or group of muscles, needed to complete the action. Effects of ALS ALS causes both the upper and lower motor neurons to degenerate or die. Both the brain and spinal cord lose the ability to initiate and send messages to the muscles in the body. The muscles, which are unable to function, gradually atrophy (waste away) and twitch (fasciculate). The start of ALS can be very subtle with initial symptoms being weakness in affected muscles. Where this weakness first appears differs for different people. Regardless of what part of the body experiences the first effects of ALS, muscle weakness and atrophy spread to other parts of the body as the disease progresses. Arms and legs tire easily.

Vance Foundation is a nonprofit corporation, whose purposes include but are not limited to public education and funding of research for a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, and providing assistance to the victims of the disease and their families. The Curtis R. Vance Foundation was created by Curtis Vance and his wife and caregiver, Heidi, in the winter of 1999. Diagnosed with familial ALS in December, 1998 at the age of 25, Curtis died in December 1999 as a result of respiratory failure. Throughout the time that Curtis lived with ALS, he remained positive that a cure would be found in his lifetime, and simultaneously lived each day as though it could be his last. He learned how to live while he prepared to die. His humor, love, and generosity flowed out of him and into every person who met him, both before and during his illness. Six months after the diagnosis, he questioned Heidi with a smile and a tear, "Why can’t you find the cure?" And, during one of his last days, he declared to her, "I pray that no one else in my family, or in the world, will ever feel the way I do now." Although mentally strong and emotionally healthy, Curtis was physically exhausted. He could no longer move his legs and arms, breathe on his own, or eat and drink without the aid of a feeding tube. His voice was soft and slurred, and since his facial muscles had recently deteriorated, a smile was almost an impossible task. But, one could still sense his spirit in his eyes, and it is his spirit that has pushed 25-year-old Heidi forward since the day Curtis left his riddled body. When her days of physically caring for Curtis came to a halt, she began dedicating the hours to their foundation, and hopes that someday she can fulfill her husband’s dreams.

My dear father, Warren Lee Stickney, lost his battle with ALS on January 16, 1999.  I wanted to do something to honor his memory and to celebrate his life, so I thought of dedicating a web page to him.  Then I deceided that there were far too many PALS in this world who have loved ones that would like to do the same, so this page is dedicated to all PALS everywhere.  If you have a story and/or pictures of a PALS you would like to honor please e-mail me at wlsals@yahoo.com ALS(also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) is a neurological disease affecting the nerves that supply all voluntary muscles.  It is one of the most devastating diseases there is.  There is no cure.  ALS affects the muscles of the arms, legs, face, tongue, speech, swallowing and breathing- eventually leading to paralysis. ALS does not affect thinking or intelligence. Feb. 1999 - This is my story of my dad, I will just write what I am thinking at the time so I may sound like I am rambling but please forgive me.  I just want people to know what kind of person the world has lost.  I have heard it said that PALS are the nicest people you could ever meet and this was true of my dad. A little about him.  Warren Lee Stickney was born in June 1932, he was the youngest of several children.  Grandpa (I started calling him Grandpa almost 20 years ago when my nephew Daniel was born) used to always tell us kids of his adventures as a child (and I am still lucky enough to have his older brother, Bert, come and visit and tell these tales to me and my kids). Grandpa grew up in Michigan and lived on the lake.  He spent his boyhood camping, fishing, swimming,etc.
