Nancy's Mother Betty, a lifelong South Carolinian and a retired school teacher, was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) in Nov, 2007. From that day forward Nancy joined the MDA's ALS Division to bring help and hope to all those affected by ALS. Betty's Battle was formed to help fund the research necessary to find a cure, so other families don't have to go through what Nancy's family did.
