In May 2019, my mom was diagnosed with Bulbar ALS.ALS has taken so much from my family—most painfully, my mother’s life. And yet, in the midst of that heartbreak, it also gave us unexpected gifts: a deeper capacity to love, a heightened appreciation for time, and a profound sense of community as friends and loved ones rallied around us.We carry gratitude for those blessings—but I’d give anything to have my mom back.No family should have to endure the pain that ALS inflicts. We dream of a future where no one loses a loved one to this cruel disease. Please consider supporting ALS research, so we can help bring that future closer—and finally end the suffering this illness causes.This photo is from our last Mother's Day together. My mom died when she was 68. What I'd give for this not to be true. Please help us end ALS.
