Behind every effort to find a cure for ALS are people who are deeply loved and deeply missed. 💚
Rex Mook was one of those people. He was a wonderful friend and longtime golf buddy of my stepdad, Jim Robinson, and they shared many great times together—both on and off the golf course.
After losing Rex to ALS, the Rex Mook Memorial Golf Tournament was created in his memory to help raise funds for ALS research. It’s a cause especially meaningful to my stepdad, who also lost his mother to ALS many years ago.
So many families know what it’s like to walk alongside someone they love through this disease and to wish there were better answers.
Jim recently spoke with WDBJ7's Natalie Faunce about Rex, the tournament, and the hope behind it. If you have 4½ minutes, I hope you’ll take a moment to listen and learn a little more about Rex and the effort being made in his memory to help . 💚
