A few weeks ago, my closest friends and family joined together to form a team for the Walk to Defeat ALS. We named ourselves "Nutty Buddies" after my father, Bud. Matt Arch, and incredibly caring individual, joined our team and took some great footage of the action that day. Here is his video blog from the walk.
Yep, that's my dad there in the Underdog costume for the Superhero themed walk! Below is what Matt wrote about this video in his blog.
"Several months ago, I met a young woman who I confidently can describe as a quintessential“change agent.” This means that a person will stop at nothing to strive and reach a goal no matter the challenge. This girl’s name is Amie. A senior college student at Point Park University, her father was diagnosed with ALS a little over 1 year ago. This is the same neurodegenerative disease that took the life of Lou Gehrig over 70+ years ago. Sadly, there is still no cure, so every dollar raised helps prolong the life of a loved one.
Ms. Amie, thanks for being an advocate even in this trying time. Here is a small depiction of your hard work and triumphant fundraising efforts (raised OVER #10000) achieved in September, 2013. Buddy, you are a true legend and living #legacy. Thanks for being YOU!"
His words truly brought tears to my eyes. Please watch and share this video and his blog!
