Nancy, thanks so much for bringing this to the forefront! My father was diagnosed over a year ago and we have watched him fade a little more each day. I pray that a cure or a treatment will be found soon.

Nancy,
I have no doubt your Mom was as proud of you as you were of her and that she is looking at you now in awe. As you put your energy, time and most of all love into Betty’s Battle to honor your Mom, you’ve given the ALS community truly something to hope for and hope with.
I can’t thank you enough for all you’re doing to help MDA spread awareness and raise invaluable funds to one day SOON find a cure. You’re a beautiful inspiration inside and out.

Nancy,
I have heard how incredibly close you were with your mother, and I offer my deepest sympathies following your loss. Thank you VERY much for the work you do with MDA to raise awareness of ALS. Betty’s Battle is inspiring and I wish you tremendous success – thank you for all that you do in the fight against ALS!

Nancy – Thank you for all that you do to raise awareness of ALS and working to find a cure. Betty’s Battle is such a tribute to your mom’s fight against ALS.

Dear Nancy –
I’m in awe of your strength in helping us wage the battle against ALS. When we met last year and shared our personal stories of losing our beloved parents much too soon (my dad recently had died from complications of a virulent form of prostate cancer at age 71), we instantly formed a bond. I was especially struck that, at that point in time, although the wounds from losing your mom were still raw, you still mustered the courage to join with MDA in our all-out assault against ALS. I’m inspired by the launch of MDA’s Betty’s Battle. With your efforts, I have faith that ALS will be defeated!
Looking forward to seeing you at Telethon! Thanks for all you do!

Nancy,
Since the day your mom was diagnosed to the day she passed, it was inspiring to see the amount of support you and your family offered not only to her, but to others living with ALS. Not a second went by that you were not 100% focused on the next step. Betty’s Battle is a testament that this dedication has remained strong and unfailing.
The impact you’ve had on others living with ALS is incredible. Even after their initial ALS diagnosis, people light up when hearing about your involvement with MDA’s ALS Division. Betty’s Battle will be the next step in raising crucial awareness and funding for the devastating disease that ALS is.
Thank you for the continued support. I look forward to the great hope this will bring to the ALS Community.
For the Cure,
Andi Sass

Our condolences to you and your family for the loss of your mother, Betty.
Thank you for your efforts to raise awareness of this terrible disease. Your personal experience with this disease will surely inspire others to join in the fight to fund treatments and cures for ALS. Each day brings us one day closer to eliminating it.
