Hawaii Walk to Defeat ALS

Last week The ALS Association Golden West Chapter  announced that Alex joined the fight against ALS and  joined the #Walktodefeatals.

Alex is taking part in the Walk to defeat ALS on September 6th. One of the H50 crew members who take part in a number of charity walks, formed a team to represent the Hawaii Five-0 Ohana and support Alex. We are asking that you support Eric Uyeda *Pirate (@MrEricPiRaTe on twitter) who is walking with Alex and hoping to reach 50.00,00$.

On Twitter Eric Uyeda  said that when he’ll reach 1000$ of his target, he’ll take a pic of himself and Alex to celebrate! We are, of course,  hoping for lots more pics from the walk too 😀

To make a donation visit this page and click next to Eric´s name on “donate now”. You can choose the amount yourself and even do it anonymously. Please remember, that even smallest donations make a difference, with enough people helping out.

If you do not know what this disease is:
Often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. The life expectancy of an ALS patient averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.

Get more details about the event by clicking on the pic below.

 

Some of you may know that Alex´s wife, Malia, lost her mother to this disease in 2011. How wonderful of Alex to show his support to her in this way. He is an awesome man, in more ways than one. Some of the Jones family also formed a team and you can even show your support by sponsoring them.

We have the link for donating on our sidebar too, for easier and faster access. Let us see what the Hawaii Five-0 and Alex fans can do to show support for this cause!

On twitter you can also use this #H50AlsWarriors tag to keep you up to date.

5 Juicy Questions for Alex O’Loughlin – December 2011

Hawaii Five-0 star gives us the details on

love, life, and women

– By Sheila Monaghan

January 2012

1. Since your job is very physical, how do you chill out?

Alex: I live in Hawaii, and the trails and mountains here are just magic. Surfing and trail running chill me out. I like reading too. And playing my guitar—I wish I were better.

2. Finish this sentence: A woman looks hottest in…

Alex: A sarong and my T-shirt—that’s pretty good. But I love her dressed to the nines too. Guys want to see the diversity of beauty.

(All this talk about sarongs, gave me some ideas for more Hawaii Five-0 wardrobe suggestions for Steve: 😛 )

(They are in Hawaii after all! 😀 )

3. What would you consider to be the secret to a successful relationship?

Alex: (Laughs) I was hoping you were going to give me some tips! OK, look, it’s so cliché, but it’s true: honesty and communication. And a good sex life.

4. What still boggles your mind about women?

Alex: There have been many times when I thought I was having a logical discussion with a woman, and then I’m left sitting alone, confused, trying to recount how it went down. You guys are so much smarter than we are.

5. You just won yourself even more female admirers. How do you know when you’re really into a woman?

Alex: When I am really into a woman, the way I look at other women changes. The other women on the planet kind of fade away. And the majority of my energy goes to that person. I’m a very attentive lover.
