Emory ALS Center

You read about Meraida's semi-retirement in the newsletter. We had a chance to celebrate her today. The inscription says it all: "Meraida Polak - The Heart and Soul of the Emory ALS Center In appreciation of your dedication to the patients and families with ALS, and your unrelenting search for life changing treatments."... THANK YOU, Meraida, for 40+ years at Emory; 28 of them devoted to ALS. We love you

It appears there is a great contest between two teams! Cain'Train of Hope has 29 members and Team Yes has 28. Join one of these or another of our groups, create your own, or just signup to #runLOCO4ALS in April. www.runsignup.com/runloco4als

We have secured a location for our 15th annual Fiesta 5k Challenge, benefiting the Emory ALS Center - the Forsyth Conference Center (FCC) in Cumming, GA. We are... hopeful for an in-person race - we always have the registration option of Virtual Runner, so can see a scenario where a hybrid event (in-person+virtual) could happen. Hopefully there will not be need for another shut down, but if it happens, we will switch to virtual for the event like we did last year. So - those of you who are not in Georgia and did our virtual event last year...WE NEED YOU THIS YEAR TOO. In whatever form it happens - this race will go on for the 15th year in a row! Whether we are in-person or virtual, here is another incentive to have as many people as possible participate. We've had a generous donor offer to donate $1 for EVERY MILE run. For example, if 650 people run/walk 3.1 miles (5k), the donation would be $2015. So we need you to register, we need you to share this event and get as many of your friends to register and participate - run, walk, roll, crawl - just get your 3.1 miles in! www.runsignup.com/runloco4als
