Coffee for a Cause!

 

Local Starbucks are blending customized bags of beans benefiting Grand Cascade's Duffy's family fundraising "ALS Run for Life" 5K fun run and walk. Each 1 pound bag sells for $14 with $5 directly benefiting Emory ALS Center.

How can you support this great cause AND get your hands on this rich blend of deep espresso notes with a mellow hint of Pike's Place? We are making it so easy…

• Purchase bags on-line (there's still time to register for the race or you can just order coffee) at
www.alsrunforlife5k.com. Pick up these pre-ordered bags during packet pick up at Totally Running in Cumming on May 4th from 11am-7pm OR race day on May 5th.

• E-mail your order to Shannon Le Mintier
Shannon@ahealthexchange.com or call 404.512.4431 now through April 13th. Bags will be delivered to you the week of April 30th or you can pick them up during packet pick up at Totally Running in Cumming May 4th from 11am-7pm OR race day May 5th.

• Purchase bags at Totally Running on May 4th from 11am-7pm or at the race on May 5th.

Please forward this to as many friends and family to spread the word with hopes of raising as much awareness and money for a fight near and dear to my heart. Come run/walk with me in honor of my mom who lost her battle to ALS 6 years ago or for someone you know that has been touched by this terrible disease. It's an amazing event for the whole family.

Any questions, please feel free to contact me or go on-line for more race details.

Your support is very much appreciated!

Cheers,

Shannon Le Mintier

   

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a disease that attacks the motor neurons, or nerve cells, in the brain and spinal cord. It is more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. ALS can strike anyone. Without warning, it happens to 15 people each day in the United States. The average life expectancy is only two to five years from the time of diagnosis. ALS slowly takes away the ability to move, speak, swallow, and ultimately breathe. There is no cure so there are no survivors to tell their stories.

 

Every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS while another person with ALS dies. There are currently 30,000 Americans living with ALS. Without raising

awareness and funding, ALS will not receive the research necessary to find a cure. It will continue to strike down every person who is diagnosed.
