When I was diagnosed with ALS at age 28, I lost my teaching career, my plans to travel, and the chance to start a family with my husband. I lost my future. I almost lost hope, but being surrounded by so many people unwilling to let me go, I stepped back from the edge. Now I am determined not to let a day go by without smiling, laughing, and fighting for my life. Follow me to learn about ALS and join the fight to defeat it!
