Alzheimer's is a horrible disease which affects millions of Americans by erasing their memories, their abilities, and eventually even their lives.  The disease not only affects those suffering directly, but hurts just as much for the loved ones caring for them.  We are donating and raising funds specifically earmarked for the very promising research that may someday soon halt, or even reverse, the debilitating effects of this terrible disease. 

Together with millions of supporters, the American Cancer Society saves lives and creates a world with less cancer and more birthdays by helping people stay well, helping people get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back.

The American Cancer Society is a nationwide, community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem.

Not everyone can take an act as simple as breathing for granted.  Cystic Fibrosis (CF), the most common genetic disease afflicting children and young adults, attacks the lungs of its young victims. The Gilbert Law Group attorney Anne Dieruf knows this well. In April, 2005, her 23-year-old sister-in-law, Cody, lost her courageous battle with this disease. 

Anne and her family founded the Cody Dieruf Benefit Foundation, and they devote so much time and energy to helping others battling CF because the disease has such a personal face for them.  Part of their mission is to help children from the Rocky Mountain West with Cystic Fibrosis to visit Children's Hospital in Denver, a leading CF treatment and research institution. 

Each June, the Cody Dieruf Benefit Foundation holds its Walk and Auction for Cystic Fibrosis in Anne’s home state of Montana. 

We support Children’s Hospital throughout the year because all of us at this firm have been touched by its good work.
