Family time is the best time
BKells Bullpen
Thank you for supporting our ALS United Walk Fundraiser! Please consider making a donation to our cause. Just click on a name below and the donation will go right to our team! You are also welcome to join Team Bkells and walk with us on Sept 28th.
Last July, our father Bob (aka Bkells) was diagnosed with ALS. It sent a ripple of emotion through our family and has been one of the toughest challenges we never imagined we would have to face. Nothing prepares you for this. We have always been lucky to have such a great Dad who loves being with us. Some of our best memories growing up as a family of 5 kids were the days he coached our sports teams and took us to sporting events. We are certain that he even loves us MORE than the Philadelphia Eagles:)

Some of our best memories growing up as a family of 5 kids were the days he coached our sports teams and took us to sporting events. We are certain that he even loves us MORE than the Philadelphia Eagles:)
As a family we continue to share the love of Philly sports and have always valued our time cheering the teams on together every chance we get. We love the sound of our Dad's special "Bkells clap" (a sign that one of our teams has made a good play) and we pray that we can continue to hear it for as long as possible.
During these tough times, we want our Dad to know that he is not fighting alone- WE are his Bullpen and WE have his back. We want him to know that we are in this journey together, United against ALS. Team Bkells is committed to raising money to support people in our local community with ALS and spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure for this awful disease.
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries.
That’s why we’re participating in the ALS United Walk. To bring hope. To raise awareness. To provide resources and services to families free of charge. Will you join us?
ABOUT ALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. The life expectancy of a person with ALS averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.
ALS can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease, yet it still costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Join the movement to provide help and hope today!
