Dear fellow ALS Advocates,

Late last night I received an out of breath call from a very excited
Butch Watson, (Amanda Watson's proud father) telling me that Amanda
won the title of Miss North Carolina. Like Mr. Watson, I cannot begin
to put into words how proud we are of her! As most of you know,
Amanda has been actively advocating with us for a long time. She has
attended countless Walks, she and her dad held a golf tournament and
she has given her personal testimony (having lost both her grandfather
and great grandfather to ALS) to members of Congress. She even used
her singing talent to perform at our candlelight vigil in Washington, DC.
