LINKJust wanted to let the OB know about an ALS fundraiser event tomorrow from 2:00-10:00 in Port Allen on the levee. It's a benefit for my girlfriends dad who was diagnosed with ALS about a year and a half ago. There will be beer, food, and multiple bands, including CheeWeez and more. Come drink and have fun. I've attached a link with all the info.

Info:
The Manchester Project is proud to announce the first annual “Mark’s Madness”, an Event to Promote local awareness, activism, and education for ALS. The event’s mission is to raise funds to help support local ALS , Team Gleason and The Manchester Project.
Mark Manchester was diagnosed in July 2011 with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), considered a terminal neuromuscular disease. Lou Gehrig first brought National and International attention to the disease in 1939 when he abruptly retired from baseball after being diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). ALS can strike anyone, anytime. Mark is determined to inspire others by continually pursuing a positive and inspirational life. Despite his diagnosis, Mark continues to challenge the works of technology and science to identify and implement their most promising developments towards new treatments and a cure. Mark has taken on the motto “NO WHITE FLAGS” as shared with Steve Gleason, a former Saints football player who is also fighting this terrible disease.
