ALS on Channel 4 in Denver

Just a quick press notification.  The Bishop family will be appearing on KCNC-TV/CBS4 News in the Denver area at 7 a.m. MDT on Sunday, May 21, 2006.

 

Since May is ALS Awareness Month, the subject of discussion will concentrate on awareness and our Extra Hands for ALS program.  Please join us Sunday morning or set the Tivo, DVR or VCR recorder if you are not planning on getting up that early.  This is live, so it will be interesting for this family at that hour!

 

We would like to thank Susie Roy for pitching this story to the Channel 4 staff.  Thank you also to CBS4 News Producer, Alan Singer for the opportunity and Reporter, Jodi Brooks for setting it up.

 

The generosity of the media to air these human interest stories is a huge key to our success in building awareness for this horrible disease.  Occasionally, I lose perspective of ALS because I am so blessed with my slow progression.  Unfortunately, I am too often reminded of the normal progression when Jennifer and I are notified of yet another death in our ALS community.  I am so thankful that I can still participate with Jennifer in these PR opportunities and hopefully do justice to those of us that cannot.
