The life expectancy of an ALS patient is two to five years from the date of diagnosis.

A very good cause, indeed. It may be more commonly known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease" but I always think of it as "what Stephen Hawking has" -- and he's one of the lucky ones just to have survived so long.
Aww, man....I miss all these weekend things now. Sorry. Hockey rules every weekend now in this house. Saturday and Sundays are now consumed. Does McMillen rent cots? Best of luck to the ALS Association that this goes well, with no rain.
