Hello family and friends!

Our dear Nayyar Sultana Khan passed away on Tuesday, December 10th, 2019. She was diagnosed with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) in 2007 and had first observed symptoms in 2005. For the last several years of her life, she lost control of voluntary motor functions, and even involuntary functions such as breathing become increasingly difficult. She communicated via the eye-gaze method through her Tobii Dynavox.

While there is still no cure, a lot of valuable research and awareness occurred in the past few years including the 2014 "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge". The hope is that one day we will find a cure for ALS so no one else will ever have to suffer from this fatal disease.

The resources for additional research come from awareness and fundraising campaigns like the annual Walk to Defeat ALS event held throughout Florida. Furthermore, groups like The ALS Association help with medical necessities and temporary respite assistance which provides much needed relief to ALS patients and their family members living with them.

The Greater Tampa Bay Walk to Defeat ALS, Car Parade of Hope will be a community experience from the comfort of your own vehicle to continue fighting to defeat ALS. Everyone will be able to unite safely while driving a couple of laps around the scenic route along Armature Works and the Tampa Bay Riverwalk!
