I am Todd Watkins

living with ALS

New Mexico

I continue to enjoy baseball in many ways and find it therapeutic as I live with ALS.

Baseball has always been a big part of my life. I played college ball at NMSU, coached for several years, and watched my son play college ball for 4 years. When I was diagnosed in March of 2019, I read “Luckiest Man – the Life and Death of Lou Gehrig” by Jonathan Eig, which inspired me to fight during my illness with baseball as the backdrop. I continue to enjoy baseball in many ways and find it therapeutic as I live with ALS.

We will live life by dog years attempting to put 7 years into one. We are devastated that we will not be able to grow old together, but we will let our love help us face this and fight it to the end.
