This is off the subject of ALS but you folks are so comforting. Well I hate to say things were improving because we all know with this disease that just doesn't happen, but with new benefits approved for dad things are looking up from a help and care side. So that was kind of a bright spot if...

I'm a 41 year old woman living with ALS. I have to say this is the hardest thing I've ever been through. I have 2 sons, ages 14 and 11, and the thought of not being here for them breaks my heart daily.
