ALS stopped my mom from watching her grandchildren grow up. ALS took my mom in 8 months. She was the kindest soul on earth. I miss her every  day. She?s the only person in my life who knew everything about me. I miss her reminding me how strong and capable I am when things are hard.

ALS kept my friend, Big Daddy, from watching his children grow up, his children that he was so proud of and would walk the stroller to the Quiksilver to hang out and vibe with us.

ALS is currently "incurable". Can you imagine waiting for test results and actually hoping you have something like MS? Imagine being told by a doctor to ?make your bucket list? instead of "here is how we fight this". Imagine watching your body deteriorate while your mind is the same healthy mind it?s always been.

The past years have brought advancements in ALS research, expanded access to care for people living with ALS. but it?s still a disease that gets brushed under the rug because it doesn?t affect enough people. But it sure as fuck affected me.

Please consider donating on my, my mother?s, or Big Daddy?s behalf. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
