Via Scoop.it – ALS Lou Gehrig’s Disease
HANFORD — Local hair stylist Joe Babin used to go hunting for animals like deer and other big game as a pastime with friends, but now he’s hunting for something to save his life — a cure for Lou Gehrig’s disease. “I know the odds, I don’t need to be reminded of that,” Babin said. “But I am not letting that cloud my mind. I am coming at this, guns blazing. I’m going to fight this thing during every waking moment of my life.” Babin won’t be alone in his fight. Ever since he was officially diagnosed in December, family and friends have shown him unbelievable amounts of support. Now, his co-workers at Panache Hair Salon and various other businesses have partnered to hold a special dinner and dance fundraiser at the Hanford Fraternal Hall on Saturday to help pay for any living or medical expenses while Babin pursues a treatment for the disease.
