It's Gonna Be May

Nobody said it better than Justin Timberlake. Now each time May rolls around I always play NSYNC - It’s gonna be me.

Know what else May is? ALS awareness month. There are plenty of ways you can help our cause.
  1. Spread awareness of this disease that every 90 minutes a new person is diagnosed, and every 90 minutes a person dies from ALS. There is no cure or promising treatments, what we have is hope for future treatments that get stuck in the FDA quagmire.
  2. You can make a financial contribution to any ALS non profit who focuses on getting drugs into bodies, or provides patient services.
  3. You can write your representatives and ask them to support two ALS bills, Act for ALS and the Promising Pathways Act. Visit https://iamals.org/action/ for an easy way to do this.
  4. Tell someone new about my journey with ALS. Send them to our website and encourage them to do the same.

Now I know it might be cliché, oh another month with a special cause. Well yeah, it is. But you know what, myself and 30,000+ Americans will have our lives cut short because of ALS. Through no fault of our own, we just hit the wrong lottery and we appreciate those who use their voices when we can’t.

I am fighting like hell to save my life, will you help?

I will buy you a beer, cheers!
