A General Wayne family needs your help....

Hello DECA Neighbors,

I wanted to let you know that this year the Save the Day 5k is helping out one of our own General Wayne families. Michael Strieb, husband and father of three, was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) in March, 2008. Since Michael’s diagnosis, he has experienced a steady progression of the disease. He is now limited to a wheelchair, needs assistance with everyday activities, and uses a speech assistance device to communicate. Michael and his wife, Christine, live in Malvern with their three children: Sarah (10), Alexander (8), and Elizabeth (2). Sarah and Alexander both attend General Wayne Elementary School.

The race is 9:00 on November 7th, at Sugartown El. School. Please check out the web site and register at:

There is a 1 mile walk/run as well as the 5k.
We are all so lucky that we are able to participate. I hope to see you there!

Thanks!
Lisa Beck
