We all still have a lot to live for. Lou inspires me to never give up, for my son Ashton.

Lou Gehrig was the first patient advocate for ALS. He showed positivity, determination and gratitude to the world. He famously said “I may have gotten a bad break, but I have an awful lot to live for.” This still rings true today, we all still have a lot to live for. Lou inspires me to never give up, for my son Ashton.

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.
