Hi. My name is Adrienne. I have seen my share of heart ache and pain when it comes to ALS. My grandfather was diagnosed in 1995 and passed away in 1997. My father passed away from the disease 1 week before Christmas 2006. My great uncle died from the disease around 1985.
We are apparently of the rare 5-10% of ALS sufferers that are familial.
To be honest, I fear for my children, my brother, my nephew, my aunts, uncles, cousins and myself. Who will be next???
My family and I will be walking in our local Walk for ALS this June. We have come together as a family unit for support and comfort.
I don't really know what else to say at this point. I just wanted to introduce myself.
