This is an initiative started by Steve Gleason, the former New Orleans Patriots player. He recruited a bunch of NFL players to make a public service announcement about the devastating effects of ALS. The ad will start airing Monday, right after Superbowl. It's perfect timing, since people's attention will be focused on football.
The ad is powerful and hard-hitting. It really drives home the devastation of ALS.
I am so grateful to these NFL players for using their fame and influence to draw attention to this disease.
Here's a link to the NYT story, which includes a video of the ad: In Starkest Terms, Players Share Message About A.L.S. - NYTimes.com
