Help Patients Live Well with ALS

In February, we told you about veteran ALS member SmoothS and his efforts to bring to life the first and only fully automated, skilled service residence specializing in ALS. The Leonard Florence Center for Living opened in November 2010 in Chelsea, Massachusetts, and now SmoothS is working on bringing his groundbreaking concept to other cities.

Want to help this admirable mission? On Sunday, September 25, 2011, the center is hosting a Walk for Living event to raise funds for the Steve Saling ALS Residence and the Slifka MS Residence next door, both of which are part of the center. 100% of donations will go towards these two residences as well as the effort to build additional residences throughout the country through the ALS Residence Initiative (ALSRI).

If you are in the Boston area, you are invited to sign up for Team Smooth Saling ALS Residence. You can also make an online pledge here. Thanks to a generous matching program with The Herb Chambers Companies, every dollar you give will be matched 100%. In addition, all pledges are tax deductible and will help make a profound difference in the future of how care is delivered for people determined to live with ALS.

To learn more, check out the video below, in which SmoothS discusses “the dire need for residential living options for the chronically disabled.”

“ALS does not have to be fatal, and with your help, I will prove it to the world,” says SmoothS. “Until medicine proves otherwise, technology IS the cure. Thank you for your support!”
