Don't get me a Hanukkah gift this year, instead, please support ALS research. It was very tough watching my mother slowly lose her ability to speak on her own.

For those unfamiliar with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), it was formerly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. It progresses in stages, and as a son it is very difficult to watch the person who raised me lose so much.

These donations won't directly benefit my mother or I, but rather support research so that a cure for this affliction.
