Mesa alumni to walk for Lou Gehrig's disease
"I can't even put into words, when diagnosed with a terminal illness and faced with your own mortality, how amazing this is," Polisso said.
Polisso, who now lives in Northern California, will cut the ribbon to launch the walk.
"That the people you started your life with — and I've known these people my whole life, although a lot of them have moved away over the years, myself included — the way that my friends have come together, it's like they never left," Polisso said.
So far the group has raised $2,050 toward its $3,000 goal.
About 2,000 people and 100 teams have signed on for the walk, which aims to raise $225,000 for research and support groups.
"There is no cure for ALS," said Keith Regan, executive director of the ALS Association's Orange County chapter. "There have been some major breakthroughs, but we are still a long way away from finding a cure.
Saint John Vianney Girls' Soccer Team Brings Awareness to ALS ...
On Monday, October 24, 2011 the girls’ Soccer team at SJV helped to bring awareness to ALS, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig’s disease, and the fight against breast cancer.
During their game against Manasquan, each player wore a pink shirt with a red ribbon on it. The pink was in honor of breast cancer awareness month and the red ribbon was in honor of hope.

ALS Awareness | See Jamie blog
Most people don’t seem to know much about ALS unless they have personally known someone affected by the disease. In fact, most people have a rather blank look when they hear the term “ALS” until I tell them it’s also called Lou Gehrig’s disease.
I didn’t know much about it either. Years and years ago, I remember watching an old black and white movie about Lou Gehrig. This award-winning movie, made in 1942, was called Pride of the Yankees , and starred Gary Cooper as the famous pro baseball player. It was the only reason I’d ever heard of this disease — until my dad started having some odd medical issues that caused him to have a bit of difficulty swallowing, and friends and family began to notice that his speech was slurred. ALS was mentioned as one of the possible causes, but it seemed more likely to have been something like a mild stroke. None of us, not even the doctors, it seemed, wanted to think of ALS as a real possibility.
