For any kid touched by ALS in their family, it is really difficult. At The Joe Martin ALS Foundation they understand this and have been giving back for years. Read this post below and then go to: https://joemartinalsfoundation.org/joes-camp/camper-registration/ to register your child aged 8-13 years of age for the August Summer Camp, or better yet if you're interested is making a donation to this wonderful foundation. You can visit their website for donations at: https://joemartinalsfoundation.org/donate/ (they accept check or credit card)
Over the years we have known many friends who have lived with or who are currently living with ALS. It is a horrible disease that simply robs a person of their capacity to use their arms, their legs, to speak, to eat, and ultimately to breathe, all the while their mind is functioning normal and the person is aware of exactly what is happening. Please think about giving any donation you can afford. I'm sure they appreciate any amount.

Joe’s Camp Counselor Spotlight!

Joe’s Camp, our FREE weekend summer camp for kids whose lives have been impacted by ALS, is made possible with the support of our amazing volunteer counselors.

My name is Lily Cola, flower soda to help remember! This will be my third-year volunteering at Joe’s Camp. I first learned about Joe’s Camp through als ALS United North Carolina (formally ALS Association of NC) when my supervisor shared that The Joe Martin Foundation was looking for volunteers for Joe’s Camp. Once I first heard about the fun that was going down...I had to join in! Joe’s Camp is a great space for kids to be kids—they get the chance to hang their caregiver hat up for the weekend to talk with other young caregivers who are facing the same things. One of many favorites that I like about Joe’s Camp is being able to lead therapeutic activities for kids to really talk about what is going on or at least remind them that “hey you’re not alone.” Now since you know a little about me, I hope I get the pleasure to meet you and have some fun!

These important programs would not be possible without the partnership of ALS United North Carolina and our Joe's Camp Presenting Sponsor The ALS Association. Thank you to these two great organizations!

Common Accessibility Adaptations for Vehicles

The type of modifications your vehicle will require depends on your specific needs and preferences. Luckily, accessible vehicles and adaptive vehicle modifications for people with disabilities continue to expand. These technologies range from simple equipment, such as swivel car seats, to more high-tech equipment like hand controls. Vehicle modifications can include:

Ramps – Standard on most vehicles, vehicle ramps come in many styles including powered and manual operation, as well as foldout or infloor styles to accommodate varying terrain.
Lifts – Most common on full-size vans, commercial vehicles, and busses, we offer a series of vehicle lifts to transport passengers in wheelchairs.

Swivel Car Seats – Ideal for seniors and people with mobility disabilities, swivel car seats like the BraunAbility Turny Evo rotate, raise, and lower, to help individuals get in and out of a vehicle. Compatible with over 200 vehicles, these seats are programmed to fit your unique needs, and they can be uninstalled in a vehicle and transferred to another compatible car.
Wheelchair Restraint Systems – wheelchair restraints, also known as wheelchair securement systems, are commonly used in accessible vehicles during transport. Common restraint systems include an unoccupied wheelchair restraint, retractable restraints, or an automatic locking system for drivers in wheelchairs.


Chair Topper – The BraunAbility Chair Topper is a rooftop carrier for folding frame wheelchairs. The car top carrier conveniently stows and retrieves a wheelchair near the driver’s seat, so a person with a disability can transfer from the vehicle to their wheelchair.
