Our story…

In January we received devastating news that completely rocked our family. Dad was diagnosed with ALS. This was the worst possible diagnosis, and our worst fear… but we are fighting back. Dad’s strength and resilience through everything has been incredible. In true John McCoach fashion, he is tackling this challenge like he did the Ironman; there is no stopping him when he has a goal in mind. He is spending his time with his family and friends and getting as much joy out of life as he can. Nothing seems more fitting that getting a team together to run for the cause.

Description
