The ALS Association

The ALS Association has been a tremendous help to us in coping with the onslaught on this terrible disease.  We cannot say enough good things about all of the individuals who have helped and continue to help with whatever we need.  They are a terrific bunch of people.  If you feel called to help in our fight to help find a cure for this disease, please make a donation to the ALS Association in Gilbert Griffith's name.  Dad wanted to make sure that everyone understands that any funds donated do not go to him directly but go to the ALS Association.  We would also like to thank anyone who donates in memory of Marian J. Griffith who passed away on August 27 after a battle with lung cancer.
