A Prince George woman is ready to facilitate a support group for those living with ALS.

Deborah Miller has just completed her training, the ALS Society of B.C. said Tuesday.

The meetings will be held the second Wednesday of the month. The first meeting will be on April 10 at St. Giles' Presbyterian Church, 1500 Edmonton St., 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

The groups provide an open, friendly and safe environment for ALS patients, family members,

friends and caregivers to discuss issues related to living with ALS.

Also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative disease that affects the brain and spinal cord and causes a loss of control of voluntary muscles.
