Hello,
 
My name is Dave Colamarino and I am Father Dennis' nephew and Godson.  This is the team's seventh walk and I am very excited to lead the team for the second year as Team Captain.
 
I think we can all agree that this year has been one unlike anything we’ve ever seen. With so much happening, ALS doesn’t stop.  In fact, every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS.  In that same timeframe, someone loses their battle.
 
This year is going to be quite different…for the safety of all, especially our friends with ALS and compromised immune systems, we will be walking VIRTUALLY!
 
The Walk to Defeat ALS is on Saturday, September 12.  You may donate and register online at http://webwpawv.alsa.org/goto/teamfatherdennis.  You may also make a donation by mailing it directly to The ALS Association and referencing Team Father Dennis...

416 Lincoln Ave
Pittsburgh, PA  15209
 
Our ask of you today is this:

1. Sign up to join the walk.  You can walk around your neighborhood, a park, at the Christ the Light of the World parking lot, really anywhere you choose!  (More details to come.)
2. Consider reaching out to FIVE people you know that would want to be a part of unlocking ALS.  Ask them to join our team.
3. Reach out to myself or Shannon if you are interested in fundraising but not sure how to get started.  We are here to help!

 
Your help towards the advancement of new discoveries and treatments for those affected with this crippling disease is greatly appreciated.  Should you have any questions, please contact me directly at 412-526-1075.  You may contact Shannon as well at 724-980-8810 or scolamarino1@gmail.com.  Please share and let us know if you have any additional fundraising ideas. 

My wife Shannon, along with our two sons, Luca and Sammy, and myself would love to have you as a part of Team Father Dennis again and support the fight against ALS.  The walk, the cause, and people with ALS need you more than ever this year!
