Supporting Speck & Spying Spring Blossoms

Our community is blessed with thousands of dedicated volunteers who quietly go about the business of making this world a better place.  In the top echelon of those indefatigable and eternally optimistic personages is Hometown Hero Cathy Speck.

Please visit the Hero Next Door website TODAY and vote for Cathy to win $2,500 plus another $2,500 which she’ll give to find a cure for ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease).  Tomorrow is the deadline and Cathy is running neck and neck with two other folks; honor Cathy’s commitment by spending just two minutes of your time by clicking HERE.

Since being diagnosed with ALS, Cathy has insisted that future generations of children should not have to endure the ravaging effects of ALS. Her courage and strength is unprecedented as she loses mobility with each passing day. Together with her wife Linda, Cathy is often times found performing (music and singing are her passion). Whether it’s at a local Farmers Market or a holiday party for other patients facing this disease, she uses this medium to share her words of encouragement for others and shed light on the issue of ALS.

In Cathy Speck’s heart, hope for a cure to ALS springs eternal.
