Walk for ALS - Saturday, June 12th, 2010
The cast of The Christmas Carol Project participated in the 10th Annual ALS Society of Alberta's "Walk for ALS" on Sat. June 12. We are very happy to have rasied over $3000.oo for this cause.
You can help us raise funds to provide care, support and equipment for those living with ALS in Alberta and for research in Canada. ALS (or "Lou Gehrig's Disease) is a progressive and ultimately fatal neuromuscular disease.
We are showing our support for our friend Colin Lay, who has been the invaluable front-of-house and live recording sound engineer for our annual Christmas Carol Project concert for the last 10 years. Colin has also provided impeccable live sound and studio engineering for countless musicians in Alberta and beyond. Colin was recently diagnosed with ALS.
In solidarity with Colin and other people living with ALS, we are participating in this great event and hope you will too. We hope to raise $1,000. Anything that you might be able to give would be greatly appreciated and honoured. More info below or click this link for the CCP Fund - Walk for ALS web page

Our friend Colin has told us how excellent the ALS Society of Alberta has been in giving him immediate and practical support.
