Help Ned Fight ALS
Recording
Project is finished!

Dear friends and family,

My CD “Finding My Way Home” is finally finished! It has been a labor of love and I am thrilled with how well it turned out.  Although it has been a difficult year health-wise this project has been a true blessing for me, keeping me positive and surrounded by great music.  I can honestly say that I am in better spirits now than I was a year ago.  In addition it has kept me focused on my goal- to raise funds and awareness to fight ALS. I am very grateful for all your support and encouragement- it means so much to me.


All profits will be donated to the 

ALS Association
