If We Have A Purpose In Life

My Life Is Not Easy, But It's Awesome.

Because Als Is Underfunded, Patients Have Had No Option But To Fade Away And Die. That Is Not Ok.

Als Does Not Affect Cognitive Process. Stephen Hawking, One Of Smartest People On The Planet, Has Als. It Rarely Affects The Eyes. It Doesn't Affect Senses Like Hearing, Taste And Touch.

I'm Afraid To Walk In Public, Because People Look At Me. But I'm Not Going To Stop. I'm Afraid Because If I Want To Commune With My Friend Shad (meier), I Have To Ask Him To Cut My Chicken For Me. But I Did It. And I'm Afraid To Go Back And See My Teammates And Coaches Because I Know That I'll Feel Envy. But I'm Going To Do It Anyway. Because Fear Is Just A Feeling, And If You Can Acknowledge That Fear, Digest That Fear And Overcome It, The Rewards Are Incredible.

A Terminal Diagnosis Can Really Mess With Your Head. Honestly, It Makes You Want To Run Away To The Moon. Many Als Patients Want To Fade Away Quietly. This Was Not For Me.
