Driver Bean Falbe, Melissa Page and Husband, Driver Tim PhillipsFalbe Racing has teamed up with The Wilfong Family (Todd-Arena Racing President, Kim and Noah) and Tim Phillips (Points Leader #34) in the Arena Racing Series to raise money in the fight against ALS also known as Lou Gerhig’s disease. This disease has touched The Wilfong lives deeply since they found out that a close friend of their family (Mellisa Page) was diagnosed with the disease a little over a year ago. Since I have learned about this disease and how it has changed the life of the Page family, I have decided to do what I can to find a cure for this disease.
Below you will find some facts about ALS.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)(Also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease)
Below you will find some facts about ALS.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)(Also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease)
Definition - A disease of the motor neurons, muscle-controlling nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement.
Cause - generally unknown, although genetic factors are thought to play a role; about 10 percent of cases are clearly genetic, with a family history
Onset -usually adulthoodSymptoms - generalized weakness and muscle wasting with cramps and muscle twitches common
Progression - ALS first affects legs, arms and/or throat and mouth muscles but ultimately affects all voluntary muscles, resulting in paralysis. Usually progresses rapidly with 3- to 5-year average survival.
Inheritance - primarily sporadic, but can be autosomal dominant and, in very rare cases, autosomal recessive
Our goal is to raise $1,500.00 throught the sale of our season ending championship race. If you are not able to attend the race on March 28th or to make a donation at this time we understand and hope that you will keep the Page family in your thoughts and prayers. Email me back with ticket requests and I will have them ready for you at the Will Call window at the Delta Plex or you can pick them up from me directly.
