WolfMom

About Us:

My mother, the WolfMom (aka Cathy Wolf and GrandCat), has had ALS for over 18 years.  Despite her ALS, she continues to be closely connected to our family and to the world.  She types using a system that registers the slightest movement of her eyebrows and she is also helping to pilot a brain-computer interface which reads evoked brain signals so that she can type just by thinking!  She is a poet and has recently had her poems published in a number of  newspapers (including the New York Times!), anthologies, and in the Neurology Now newsletter.  A sample of her poetry is forthcoming.  In addition, her writing on her experiences has been published in a number of newsletters, including Neurology Now and MDA's newsletter.   She is also very active politically and spends much of her time writing about local and national politics.  Finally, when she isn't writing or being interviewed for a piece, she is buying clothes and toys and crocs for her four (soon to be five!) young grandchildren. 

My mother's life life is not easy and she works very, very hard to live with ALS.  As a family, we are grateful and inspired by her determination and we are very much devoted to the fight to find a cure for ALS.  Please contribute to ALS TDI via our family's site.  My mom has waited long enough for a cure--please help be a part of the cure.  Every day I hope that this will be the day that I wake up to hear that the cure is here.

Our past fundraising for ALS TDI:

Thanks to everyone who made the Benefit Folk Concert a success!  Last November the WolfMom team organized a benefit folk concert to raise money for ALS-TDF.  Edie Carey headlined the concert and Ksenia Mack opened the show.  Both artists were wonderfully generous with their time and talent.  We hope to make the concert an annual event!

Stay on the lookout for other fundraisers from the WolfMom team!
