A Message From Mike and Dawn Timlin
 "During
the course of our mom's illness we learned that there
is no effective treatment or cure for ALS. After watching
her suffer through the awful progression of this fatal
disease we vowed to eradicate ALS so that others would
never have to endure such an experience.
Our mission is to raise public awareness regarding
ALS and more importantly to finance critical research
that is now being conducted at the Cecil B. Day Laboratory
for Neuromuscular Research at University of Massachusetts Hospital, under the direction of world renown
ALS expert Dr. Robert H. Brown.
Over the past 5 years, The Sharon Timlin Memorial
5K Race/Walk and Family Fun Day to Cure ALS, has developed
into a major ALS fundraiser with over 2,500 people
attending. In total over $400,000 has been raised
and directed toward research for a cure.
We strongly believe that with proper funding, science
will make a treatment, if not a cure, a reality sooner
rather than later."
- Mike and Dawn Timlin
