Batter Up Against ALS: May is ALS Awareness Month

ALS is a debilitating neurological disease that devastates and tears apart families during the prime of their lives. Those who receive this devastating diagnosis are relegated to getting their affairs in order and watching each nerve and muscle slowly deteriorate, while being unnervingly aware of how their physical body is betraying them.

Military members and men are the most likely to contract this killer disease. Typically the lifespan of an ALS patient is between 3-5 years at best.

The most prominent figure who had this disease was the baseball player, Lou Gehrig, whose heartfelt speech from an ESPN documentary found below, ignited the fight for a cure.
