Friends,

Each year, we ask for your continued help
<http://mackler.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=1130581&supid=392068470>
with a charity started in my late father's name, and each year you step
up.  The foundation has been so successful--no ALS patient in the region
goes without necessary technology for want of money--that it has been
expanded to other parts of the country.

This year is the second where dad will not be on the sideline watching all
the participants struggle past (though it will also be the second where his
namesake grandson will be present).  As with every year, we'd be thrilled
if you helped us out.  You can donate or register here
<http://mackler.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=1130581&supid=392068470>,
and as always, if you'd like to learn more you can watch this 60 Minutes
piece on dad <http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5228109n>. And if you
click on the donate page, you will be greeted with a picture from said
grandson. He's quite cute, if I do say so myself.

One other quick note, to those who helped with last year's Ice Bucket
Challenge (and particularly to the skeptics): I'd urge you to read this
column
<http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/03/opinion/nicholas-kristof-payday-for-ice-bucket-challenges-mocked-slacktivists.html?_r=0>
on how it may have provided a critical breakthrough, years in the making.

For those of you who come as part of a team, or raise money for the
foundation: this year we will again have awards for those who
raise/participate the most.

Thank you for your support each and every year.

ASM
