My 2007 calendar Children's Faces of ALS has just been sponsored! This calendar was made for the ALS Association (Florida Chapter), to raise money and awareness about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, which attacks neurological system, causing loss of voluntary control of muscles. The calendar featuring children who lost or are currently losing someone to ALS as models is now available for sale through the ALS Association.
Below are samples from the calendar:

ALS is a terrible disease and its solution is very important to me.
