A Devoted Father, A Loving Husband And A Fierce Friend.
In May of 2018, Dennis Ceruti received some of the worst news you can possibly imagine: He had been diagnosed with ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. ALS is a neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. It is a progressive disease, which means it gets worse over time. It affects nerves in your brain and spinal cord that control your muscles. As your muscles get weaker, it gets harder for you to walk, talk, eat, and breathe. Today medication and therapy can slow ALS and reduce discomfort, but there's no cure.
As you can imagine the diagnosis was shocking to Dennis, his family and friends. Since that day in May 2018, life has changed dramatically for Dennis, his wife Suzanne and their four amazing daughters.
Dennis had always been the go-to guy when you need a hand, no matter the task Dennis was always willing to help others. ALS never stopped him from doing that. Just last year, Dennis inspired the first Annual fundraiser, Brewing a Cure 4 ALS. This fundraiser was created to help raise money to find a cure for ALS. Even as he was suffering, he was still thinking of others and he was able to raise over $145,000 for ALS research for the ALS Therapy Development Institute.
We ask that you honor his memory by making a contribution to the ALS Therapy Development Institute in his honor.
