Dixie Run Offers Opportunity to Help ALS

Dixie Run is fast approaching on September 25-28, 2014 at Golden Mountain Park, Sparta, TN.

  In honor of Henry Randolph, we are offering up an opportunity to secure Pavilion 5 for the event to the group or club with the highest bid. All bids must be received by submitting below by Monday, September 22, 2014; and the winner will be notified by the Dixie Run Coordinators. All proceeds from this auction process will be donated to ALS in honor of Henry Randolph.

 Henry and Jayne Randolph have been the owners of Golden Mountain Park for many years. We lost Henry Randolph to this degenerative disease and now is our chance to honor with a donation from Dixie Run 28.

Please place your bid today to support the cause. 

A little history on ALS:

ALS was first found in 1869 by French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot, but it wasn’t until 1939 that Lou Gehrig brought national and international attention to the disease. Ending the career of one of the most beloved baseball players of all time, the disease is still most closely associated with his name. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons  die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed.
