Our Sunday school teacher Suzanne was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) almost a year ago after experiencing symptoms that went undiagnosed for almost two years. Suzanne is one of those people that doesn't just touch your life, but floods it. She is an amazing example of what a Christian women, wife and mother is, and seeing her faith in God only grow stronger throughout her struggle has been inspiring. On Saturday we went to Vestavia Hills High School for the Walk For ALS to show our support for Suzanne and her amazing family. Our team name was Suzanne's Superheroes!! The walk raised $95,000 dollars (w/ our team raising the most of the money)! ALS is a horrible disease, and I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to show my support and raise money for ALS research.
It has been hard watching Suzanne's condition get worse over the years, but I am so grateful for how God has worked in my life because of Suzanne and her battle with ALS. She has taught me what it truly means to be a prayer worrier. And my prayer life has been strengthened greatly because of Suzanne and I am forever grateful to her for that.
WE LOVE YOU SUZANNE AND ARE SO INSPIRED BY YOU AND YOUR FIGHT AGAINST ALS!
