Welcome to our new site, "Team Hilliard Threads"! This is a labor of love and a result of a diagnosis that we refuse to embrace as a defeat. Jim Hilliard was diagnosed with ALS,  (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Words no one ever wants to hear and words that have now changed our lives forever. The news is devastating, but we have a strong will to fight and an even stronger faith in God.

Our desire to make a difference and an opportunity to start a T- Shirt Website led to expanding the designs  so that other ALS centric groups could be able to dress their teams and have a portion of profit benenfit ALS Research. 

Please help spread the word to any groups or families wanting to show their support by doing a Tee Shirt Fundraiser for ALS! You can personalize each shirt with your "Team Name" on the back! We have started with a few designs...but look for more to be added each week! God Bless all PALS and CALS!!

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is devastating. It slowly kills the body’s motor neurons, paralyzing every muscle in the body until patients lose their ability to walk, talk, eat and eventually breathe. Today, there is no cure. Life expectancy is 2-5 years. 

We are on a mission to MAKE A DIFFERENCE, RAISE AWARENESS and contribute to the effort to raise funds for a cure. Our family wishes to see the day when no other family has to go through this experience of battling ALS. We are committed to help raise awareness and funding for ALS research and we have chosen ALS Therapy Development Institute as our research partner of choice. In our inaugural effort, in May 2018, we were able to raise over $62, 000 in a letter and social media campaign. We will support ALS Awareness Month again this year and hope to increase our Research fund by $10,000.
