The Zimmerman Family Love
Fund
NEWS:
2012 Pasta for PALS date announced --
Sunday,
May 6, 2012 at Dafnos
from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The Zimmerman
Family Love Fund was established on April 1, 2002
in honor of and as a tribute to the memory of our
father, Bruce W. Zimmerman ("Zim"), who died from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) on
March 28, 2002. ALS is a progressive, degenerative and always fatal neuromuscular disease; it is also known
as Lou Gehrig's disease, as Lou Gehrig died in 1941 from ALS. The cause of ALS remains unknown and there
is no cure.
Zim's vision for the Fund
was to establish a mechanism for raising money and providing resources to help others affected by
ALS and to support the people and organizations who provided such valuable support to him and his family during
his ALS journey. The mission of the Fund is to actively
contribute to improving the quality of life of persons with ALS (PALS) and their caregivers (CALS)
by raising funds, increasing public awareness and understanding, and supporting other organizations
engaged in similar endeavors. We are all striving for a world free of this disease, one where no
loved one, friend or acquaintance of yours ever has to hear, "You've got ALS."
When asked about his life, Zim said, "I
have loved and I have been loved." Your contribution to this Fund
will help to continue the love.
The Zimmerman
Family Love Fund is a not for profit
entity that plans to
continue to support the following people and organizations:
In addition to the organizations above,
members of the Fund will collaborate with and be advocates to
professional health-care providers, suppliers of durable medical equipment and adaptive
technologies, insurance companies, and government representatives in order to seek improved quality
of life for PALS, their caregivers and other loved ones.
Your contributions to the Zimmerman
Family Love Fund may be sent to
4811 Jonestown Road, Suite 227, Harrisburg, PA 17109-1751.
