Dear Friends and Community,

Chris’s Story: Chris is a devoted husband to Vicki and a doting dad to Hayden and Hadley and has always put family first. His infectious laughter, unwavering support, and zest for life have touched everyone fortunate enough to know him.
However, ALS has presented Chris and his family with immense obstacles. Simple tasks like walking, getting in and out of a car, or navigating his home have become monumental challenges. But Chris’ spirit remains resilient. He dreams of maintaining his independence, being able to take his kids to school, explore the outdoors, and create lasting memories with Vicki and their family.

Our Mission: We are launching this community fundraiser to raise funds for two critical needs:

1. Wheelchair Accessible Van: Chris requires a specially modified van that accommodates his wheelchair – and height! This van will allow him to travel safely, attend medical appointments, and participate in family outings. He might even be known to sing along while being in the car…

2. Home Modifications: Chris and Vicki’s home needs adaptations to ensure he can move freely and comfortably. A reconfigured floor plan and accessible bathroom are essential for his safety, extended independence, and long-term care safety at home.

How You Can Help:
1. Donate: Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference. Your donation will directly impact Chris’ quality of life. Donations are tax deductible.
2. Spread the Word: Share Chris’ story with your friends, family, and social networks. Awareness is key to our success.
3. Host a Fundraising Event: Whether it’s a bake sale, a charity run, or an ice bucket challenge, your creativity can spark change and drive even more support for Chris, Vicki and their family. Do you want to get involved or help? If so, leave a comment and we’ll reach out to you.
4. Volunteer: Join our team of passionate individuals working tirelessly to support Chris and his family.
5. Subscribe for updates: Add your email to the page and subscribe for updates. We’ll share news from Chris and his family.

Upcoming Events: Stay tuned for more news on ways to support Chris and Vicki and bring our community together, raise awareness, and contribute to our cause.

Together, We Can Make a Difference: Chris’s journey is our collective journey. Let’s rally around him, lift him up, and show him that he’s not alone. Your generosity will empower Chris to face each day with courage and determination knowing he has your support behind him and his family.

Thank you for being part of the Forristal’s incredible community. Together we can make a wheelchair accessible van and home modifications a reality for Chris and his family.
With heartfelt gratitude,

The Forristal Family Support Team
