Stealing Pieces

Kevin and I have had the opportunity to volunteer with ALS Association in the public awareness campaign, STEALING PIECES. We are fighting to find a cure for this dreaded disease which took my Pap's life in 1999. My sister, Kamden, works as the Public Relations Coordinator at the Association. She has been incredibly instrumental in spear-heading this campaign which includes, television commercials, billboard ads, and a travel memorial display.

The ALS Association’s Florida Chapter invites you to experience our Piece By Piece tribute display, which is dedicated to those whose lives have been taken by this dreaded disease. The exhibit features hundreds of mannequins, each shrouded with individual epitaphs, symbolizing a fellow Floridian whose life has been stolen from their loved ones. Its purpose is both to pay tribute and evoke personal reflection on the devastating number of those currently suffering. We hope you will share this powerful experience with us.

Please visit the website below to view a version of one of the TV ads and to see when the tribute display will be close to you.

The shirts are dedicated in memory of people who have passed away from ALS or who are currently living with disease.
This our way of paying tribute to those who are and were suffering with ALS. It is sombering to walk in between these mannequins each representing a human life.

We want a cure.
