Huntley,[url=http://discount2013duveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ店舗大阪[/b][/url], IL -
Before Lou Gehrig's disease robbed 37-year-old Amy Roper of her ability to take care of herself,[url=http://duveticajacketsshopjp.gengfl.com/][b]ダウンジャケットレディース[/b][/url], Roper was an athletic woman who played soccer at the University of Wisconsin Greenbay and led an active adult life.
Roper, who grew up in Arlington Heights, met her husband, Michael, while she was in college,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.gengfl.com/][b]ダウンジャケットメンズ[/b][/url], when he made the trip to Northern Wisconsin to watch his sisters play soccer for the team Amy Roper played for.
Amy and Michael Roper fell in love,[url=http://duveticajacketsonlinejp.halod.com/][b]ダウンジャケットレディース[/b][/url], got married and moved to St. Joe, Mo.,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], where he got a job as a teacher and she worked as a probation officer.
Three years ago, the couple received devastating news that would mean their lives would never be the same again. Facts about ALS:
Amy Roper was struck with ALS,[url=http://duveticajacketsshopjp.gengfl.com/][b]デュベチカ通販[/b][/url], a terminal neuromuscular disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord and eventually leads to death. A cure for the disease has not yet been discovered, and although the FDA has approved a drug to slow its progression,[url=http://kevindurantnerfshoes.blogspot.com/][b]jordans shoes[/b][/url], the life expectancy of an ALS patient averages about two to five years from the time of diagnosis.
Michael Roper's mother, Tina, who lives in Huntley with her husband, Denney, said they were shocked at the diagnosis,[url=http://discount2013duveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ青山[/b][/url], which has left Amy Roper unable to take care of herself.
"She has to be fed because she can't even lift her arms,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケットメンズ[/b][/url]," Tina Roper said. "She had been in fabulous physical shape,[url=http://duveticajacketsmenjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], and was so young."
Although most people who develop ALS are in their 40s or 50s,[url=http://parajumperslongbear.webmium.com/][b]discount Parajumpers Jackets[/b][/url], it is occasionally seen in people in their 20s and 30s, according to the ALS Association. The average age at the time of diagnosis is 55.
This isn't the first time Lou Gehrig's disease has affected the Roper family. Last year, Ken Reckamp, a friend of the Roper family, passed away as a result of the disease. For the past three years, in an effort to promote awareness and raise money to fight the disease,[url=http://duveticajacketsmenonsalejp.halod.com/][b]ダウンジャケットメンズ[/b][/url], the Ropers have been walking in the annual ALS Walk4Life along Chicago's lakefront as part of "Team Reckamp,[url=http://duveticajacketsmenjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url]," in support of their friend.
Although a trip from Missouri to Chicago is too far for Amy Roper to travel, the Ropers will be joined by Michael Roper, their daughters, and other family members, to walk in memory of Ken and in support of their daughter-in-law in a newly formed team,[url=http://duveticajacketsoutletjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url], "Amy's Army."
With Tina and Denney Roper leading the team as captains,[url=http://discount2013duveticajackets.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], they have set a goal to raise $1,[url=http://duveticashoponline.webmium.com/][b]デュベチカ通販[/b][/url],500 for ALS research. The Ropers' neighbors in their Huntley community have contributed a generous amount to their cause, Tina Roper said.
Tina Roper sent out a letter in their neighborhood explaining about the disease and asking for donations. The response they received was overwhelming,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.gengfl.com/][b]ダウンジャケットduvetica[/b][/url], she said.
"More than 80 percent of our neighbors responded with donations,[url=http://kevindurantnerfshoes.blogspot.com/][b]jordans shoes for sale[/b][/url]," she said. "It was marvelous - I cannot begin to tell you how thankful I am."
Last year ALS Walk4Life raised more than $840,000,[url=http://duveticadownjackets.halod.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], and the ALS Foundation hopes to surpass that number this year, said Wendy Turner,[url=http://duveticadownjackets.halod.com/][b]デュベチカ通販[/b][/url], executive director for ALS Walk4Life Chicago.
"We have high hopes for this year," Turner said. "Whatever we raise is very much needed for ALS research and care."
