I would never have chosen ALS as my teacher. But now that it’s here, I keep wondering whether there is something deeper I’m supposed to see.

It has been getting more difficult to keep up with the cost of treatments and the costs of trying new ideas I research. The more help we can get the better so please continue to share and donate as you can. It has been 7 months since I was diagnosed, I met a random other young women on insta who was diagnosed a few months before me who also had her symptoms start in her hands. Recently I noticed in her posts she has been put into a wheelchair. This disease affects everyone differently but the fact that all the alternative options & research I have been doing has substantially stalled my progression is definitely a reason to keep trying & pushing forward!
