I would like to introduce you to my uncle Kieran: father, friend, Irishman, Texan, and a man who is devoted to Christ and Jeopardy.
Kieran was recently diagnosed with ALS, a chronic and progressive disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The health challenges have been difficult and overwhelming, yet he and his family face each with courage and grace. Despite losing physical strength, Kieran grows stronger in his faith everyday. Furthermore, he encourages and guides others to do the same. Throughout this journey, Kieran continues to be the life of the party – making everyone feel welcome, telling funny jokes, and sharing valuable advice.
Kieran and his family have inspired me to fundraise for I AM ALS, an organization raising awareness and resources for the community with ALS. Please help me reflect the appreciation and care back to the Keddy family by supporting me through these events: Goldy’s Half Marathon Challenge (April 6), Hope in Motion – ONX Free Fitness Class (April 28), Madison Mini Half Marathon (August 9).
