The Walk to Defeat ALS was great!

The Dallas Walk to Defeat ALS on October 30th was a great experience for us. The weather was beautiful, there was a big turnout and Team DewieQ raised $1250 for the ALS Association. Thank you to everyone who made donations and who came out to walk with us. If you wanted to contribute but didn't get a chance, we will be participating in the Muscular Dystrophy Association's "Muscle Walk" on March 5th, again in Dallas. The MDA is also very active in research for a cure for ALS and sponsors the ALS clinic Dewie goes to in Dallas. More on that later.

Who is the dog in the picture?

That is Brindle, who comes all the way from Soldotna, Alaska to sit in Dewie's lap. She also brings her master, Forrest, who is Dewie's sister. Forrest was visiting with us for a couple of weeks last month and walked with us on the 30th. Brindle and Dewie have an agreement: Bindle agrees to warm Dewie's lap and Dewie agrees not to wiggle. So far, so good.
