The 2008 Curt's Pitch for ALS Season is Underway!

Despite a curveball thrown at the 2008  "Curt's Pitch" Season, Curt and Shonda Schilling hit another home run in the fight against Lou Gehrig's Disease

It seems like only yesterday that Red Sox ace Curt Schilling trudged to the mound, blood staining his sock, and helped bring World Series gold back to beantown for the first time in 86 years.  His heart, determination, and unwavering will to win, have forever been etched in Boston sports lore.  The dedication Curt displays on the field, is matched only by he and his wife, Shonda's committment to the fight against ALS off the field. 

In 1993, Curt and Shonda developed "Curt's Pitch for ALS" to improve the quality of life for individuals living with ALS as well as their families.  The program, which was initiated in Philadelphia, has now expanded to Arizona, Massachusetts and the rest of New England.  Since its inception, the Curt's Pitch for ALS program has raised millions of dollars for ALS research and patient care.

"Curt's Pitch for ALS"

This year, the Curt's Pitch program was thrown a curveball.  Due to a shoulder injury, Curt will be unable to pitch for the better part of first half of the season.  This will not prevent the 2008 season from being a success!  Curt and Shonda have decided that this year, each chapter of The ALS Association that carries the "Curt's Pitch" program, will benefit based on the performance of other pitchers.  In Massachusetts and the rest of New England, all pledges made will be based on the statistics of Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett.  This is yet another example of the Schillings' ongoing pledge to do whatever it takes to assist people living with ALS.
