Mike Tamburino c/o Tambo Strong Mike Tamburino has been a very long time volunteer for youth baseball in Bethel, please read about his situation below and please share.
In December 2016, the Tamburino Family received some devastating news. Mike Tamburino was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or Lou Gherig’s Disease). ALS is a rare neurodegenerative, terminal disease where the nerve cells that control your muscles die. The cells connecting your brain to your muscles degenerate, leading to loss of mobility, loss of speech and eventually impact the ability to breathe. There is no treatment or cure. The average life expectancy is 2 to 5 years. Mike is only 45 years old. Mike is married with four wonderful children, Matthew, Joshua, David and Hannah.
If you know Mike, you know that he is extremely goofy and fun loving. You also know that he’s the kind of guy who does anything for anyone. He has such a huge heart and is a very hard worker.
The cost of medical care and equipment needed to support an ALS patient is tremendous. They are also seeking alternative treatments and supplements to help slow the progression. These can be extremely expensive.
Any money raised will go directly to Mike to help cover medical expenses.
Thank You for your support
