July 15, 2021 is a date I will never forget. It was the day my neurologist told me I have ALS and I started a new fight. A fight to keep Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, from overtaking by body. This disease is a rare, relentless, progressive neuromuscular disease thay takes away the body’s ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. It has already taken my ability to speak normally.
But there is hope.
With the help of the ALS Association, we are moving towards a future where ALS is a livable disease. It will take a community of Superheroes to beat this thing. So, I humbly ask you to join me in this fight by participating in the Dash or donating to the Dash.
