Sir: I have just recently published a book on a patient with ALS that follows my wife's disastrous trip through the disease. As the caregiver I documented what she and I went through over the four years she had the disease. The proceeds from the book are all put into "The Constance Joan Schneider Conte ALS Group Inc." to be used to pay for ALS patients to have a doctor come to their house when needed. As the Group finances grow money will be given to scholarships for medical students and nurses persuing research or aid for ALS patients as well. We would appreciate it if you would run a short article on the book in your paper. I have included a brief introduction to the book beow. Will you help our cause by advertising the book. Our website is www.alsgroup.org .

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
"Connie and Joe, her husband and caregiver, travel
down the road together for fifty years. Through their fifty years of marriage the road twists and turns through periods of births, trauma, love and happiness. The final stretch in the road ends in sadness as Connie survives cancer and then contracts ALS, Lou Gehrig’s disease. In an effort to obtain a cure for her ALS, she and Joe travel Down the Yellow Brick Road to China, to meet this Wizard of Oz."
