WPCNR WHITE PLAINS WEEK NEWS. June 9, 2006: This is Walk to D'feet ALS Weekend in White Plains, when North Fork Bank and the ALS Association stage a walk at Tibbetts Brook Park at 11 A.M. Sunday to raise money and awareness for this horrible disease which is afflicting White Plains beloved Common Councilperson, Robert Greer.

To raise awareness of the low profile the medical establishment has assigned this disease, White Plains Week, the City News Roundup Show on White Plains Public Access TV (WPPA-TV, "The Spirit of 76" on Channel 76 on your cable console), will interview Bill Monti of South Salem, New York on Monday evening's show at 7:00 P.M.  Photo by RKO Keith, White Plains Week, WPPA-TV

Mr. Monti's son Bill died of Lou Gehrig's Disease, Arterial Lateral Sclerosis, at 32 years of age, and Mr. Monti's daughter-in-law works in the White Plains schools. Mr. Monti, former director of Indian Point retired from that position in 1997, and devoted his time to caring for his son. Now since Bill's death devotes his time to speaking about this hideous disease. Monday, John Bailey, the CitizeNetReporter, talks with Mr. Monti about ALS, how you know you have it, what it is like to have it, and who is most likely to get it. The show is quite disturbing and is not for the faint of heart. Mr. Bailey thinks it is one of the most important interviews he has ever done.

Mr. Monti is appearing to focus attention on this Sunday's ALS Walk. For information on how you can walk, form a team, and make a donation, contact 800-672-8857
