“When I was diagnosed with ALS just a few weeks after my daughter’s first birthday, the fear and sadness were suffocating. In the time since my diagnosis, I have found strength and support within the ALS community.

Project ALS gives me hope as they bring researchers together to create more effective treatments for this disease. Project ALS knows first-hand how this disease impacts families and are committed to seeing this fight through. I am grateful for every day of life and look forward to continuing to make memories with my loved ones.”
