Last month we wrapped up our Water Conservation features with exclusive SolarShield SoapBox reader pricing.

This month, it’s all about giving thanks. We’re announcing our Donation Nomination winners for the second quarter AND we’re featuring one of last quarter’s winners: Augie’s Quest.

Augie Nieto of Augies’s Quest Talks the Truth About Living with ALS

When Bill McBride chose Augie’s Quest as his Donation Nomination, he chose wisely. Augie is the real deal, and his story may hit close to home.

“I am often asked, ‘What has it been like living with ALS for ten years?’ To be frank, it’s been f%*#ing nuts.
