My husband has a cousin that was diagnosed with ALS, aka Lou Gehrig's Disease, in November of 2008. Steve Russon is in his early 50's and has been married to his sweetheart for almost 30 years. They were blessed with 3 daughters and a son (Jenni, Kari, Kim, and Kyle) with 2 still at home.
Steve's kids are setting up a fund raiser and golf tournament to help with medical bills, hospice, and things. Steve has been confined to a wheelchair and his cute wife has quit working so they can spend the rest of his life together.
When I heard they were organizing a fund raiser, I told them I'd send a quilt down. I put this top together at the end of last summer and it has been sitting, waiting for a purpose. I know it isn't very masculine, but I think it is fun and someone will want it. Now that it is quilted, bound, and pics taken, I need to get it boxed up and sent on it's way.

Beautiful! Hopefully it brings it lots of money!
Beautiful quilt. I especially like the binding with the texture rather than a solid color. I am sure someone will love it.
I have had people close to me experience ALS and know how tragic it can be. Glad to hear the loving couple is spending time together.
