I am James Thomson
someone we've lost to ALS
New York
His horrific disease quickly took his speech, his ability to walk, eat and ultimately breathe on his own.
Jim was diagnosed with Bulbar ALS in June of 2020. His symptoms started in February of 2020 with slurring. His horrific disease quickly took his speech, his ability to walk, eat and ultimately breathe on his own. He lost his battle on November 25, 2023. He was such a wonderful, loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. I miss him terribly.
