Barry Turner, Foothill’s head coach for the Boys Varsity Soccer Team for 23 years, Hillview High School teacher for 19 years, and SoCal Infinity Director has been diagnosed with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease).  ALS, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, is an auto immune degenerative disease that attacks the nerves cells of the voluntary muscles eventually leading to paralysis and death. Timeframe for survival ranges from 6 months to 10 years with the average being 2 to 3 years.  The disease affects about 1 out of 20,000 people.  It is not curable.

 

Here at the Barry Turner Foundation we are striving to raise awareness about ALS as well as help the Turner Family.  The medical expenses and day to day activities are getting bigger every day.  We thank you for visiting the website and showing your support for Barry and his family.
