It feels like yesterday that I was going out to Cindy’s house. We also had great times getting out on the trails of the Coeur d’Alene’s! Doing this fundraiser helps me keep her spirit alive. It’s a challenge to fundraise, but I know that the funds are going toward helping those who are battling this awful disease today and going toward research to someday have a cure for ALS.
I feel blessed and honored to continue this trek for Cindy, my brother in law, Ron Carson, and all those who lost their battles from ALS, and those who are fighting the battle today. Thank you for visiting Cindy’s page! ~~Dawn
I will keep my promise to her to continue her trek in supporting this chapter that provided her with so much help and knowledge, so that they can continue to provide the same support to others with ALS. There still needs to be a voice to face congress, an advocate to support ALS awareness and research for a cure. With donations to the ALS Association Evergreen Chapter, there is a chance that someone else will not lose a parent, sibling, a friend. The Association is dedicated in its service to all those affected by ALS.
This cannot be accomplished without your support. As promised, Cindy Moore has been registered as a virtual rider, and we ask you to donate in Cindy’s memory to help reach her goal of $5000.
Please sponsor Cindy in her Ride to Defeat ALS. Any amount is greatly appreciated and will not go un-noticed. The ALS Association Evergreen Chapter is a 501 c (3) non-profit organization [Tax ID 91-1950869], and all donations are tax deductible.
The following is from her daughter Christy.
Thank you for visiting Cindy's Virtual Page.
In July 2010, my mom, Cindy Moore, was diagnosed with ALS. It started with a weakness in her hand and slowly spread to ultimately take away her capability to do the simplest things, things that those without ALS take for granted. Although she was faced with a multitude of daily challenges, she stayed strong as an advocate of ALS awareness and research. My mom sacrificed hours of her life to bring awareness, and speak to and educate legislators on the importance of ALS research. Most of all, she went out of her way to help fellow patients. As a member of the ALS Association Evergreen Chapter, she spoke for all the patients in this region. My mom realized how important it was to have the Association available to provide patient care, medical equipment and insight on how to live life to the fullest with such a debilitating disease. These are just a few of the services that the ALS Association Evergreen Chapter provides to its local patients.
In September 2015, my mom was given eternal freedom from this disease. With her passing, I promised to continue to help those in need.
Let us not forget Cindy and the cause that was so important to her.
Christy Hilbert and friends
Cindy felt this was an exciting opportunity for us to work together to support those affected by Lou Gehrig's disease and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure. With your help, we will make a difference. I also encourage you to send this link to your friends, family, neighbors and coworkers and get them involved!
Why Your Your Help is Needed
ALS is one of the worst diseases of modern times. Cindy came to know more about this disease than she really ever wanted to know about it. Cindy was personally afflicted with this deadly illness which has no known cause and no cure. When she was diagnosed she learned most patients are given only two to five years to live. We were blessed to have Cindy a couple months longer than five years after being diagnosed. The progression of this neurological, muscle-wasting disease gradually paralyzes its victims, robbing them of their ability to walk, speak, eat, and eventually breathe. All the while, the mind remains sharp and aware of the total paralysis that is quickly setting in. This was her fate, but it doesn't have to be this way for future generations.
The Ride
Cindy was so excited to be on the organizing team who started the ride in the Silver Valley area. All funds raised will help support local PALS, like they did her. Local means Eastern and Central Washington, Northern Idaho and Western Montana, and Alaska. The trail of the Coeur d'Alenes is a beautiful trail. Cindy use to say, because she loved to bike on the trail weekly for years before she could no longer ride a bicycle. But she continued to enjoy the day with her motorized wheelchair and friends along this beautiful trail. She always had a hope to see other PALS out enjoying the ride as well.
We hope you will support the efforts to make a difference for people like Cindy who lived with this terrible disease. Please consider giving to this cause and if you can, sign up to ride on the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes set for June 19. Get ready to ride for someone else's life!
