Nancy Bucci , Deb, and Rinky visit the boys!
Rick and Ben were so excited to meet Nancy Bucci, Deb, and Rinky at the end of Ben's 32 mile day yesterday. They brought the boys home made soup that tasted "oh so yummy", jalepeno bread, cookies, fresh apples, and much needed money for gas. "We had such a blast hanging out with the girls" The girls were there to cheer Ben on as he finished another epic day. Ben's last 4 days have been unreal. 32, 33, 40, and 32 miles. Ben has kicked it up a notch and seeing these 3 wonderful people at the end of yesterdays 32 mile day was such great inspiration for him to continue on with his journey. Rick and Ben were able to visit with Nancy, who has had ALS since May, and will be participating in a national ALS study that could change the way ALS is treated. Nancy is excited to be a pioneer in ALS research! Such warm people have been involved with this project and we are so thankful for that. Today, Ben heads out to Lee, MA on a 29 mile journey. The boys slept inside of a church last night and are still recieving blessing after blessing. Life is amazing and we are so happy that so many people have gotten involved thus far!The 2175 for ALS crewBe Well

Thank you
Hi my name is Shelley and I am Nancy Bucci younger sister and she told me of her visit with you. I think what you are doing is wonderful. My sister has always been a fighter and she is fighting now with all her heart and soul.The disease is progressing quickly and I pray that one of the clinical trials she is in will find a way to slow the ALS down and that some day soon that there will be a cure. My sister has told me many times that there may not be a cure for her but that she hopes that what she does by participating in these trials that it brings a cure that much closer for her sons and myself and my family if we should get ALS. Thank you again for what you are doing and having this website.
