Driving for a cure
A Cary woman is heading up a golf outing fundraiser in honor of her brother.

Dawn Della Vedova is organizing the first ALS Association 2008 Craig Lindemann Driving for a Cure Golf Outing. The golf outing is scheduled to take place on Sunday, Aug. 17 at the Evergreen Golf Club, N6246 U.S. Highway 12, Elkhorn, Wis. Registration will be at 11 a.m. and a shotgun start at noon. The cost is $75 each, which includes 18 holes of golf, a golf cart, dinner and prizes.

After diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in September 2005 and losing his battle in December 2006, Della Vedova's family organized the fundraiser to honor her brother. ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
