Shirley Downs
This is the most horrific thing to watch. I see the love of my life disappearing in front of me.
Jennifer Robb
Like many with ALS, I went through many diagnoses from ankle sprains to sciatica. As symptoms progressed, it became more clear something neurological was going on.
Laura Bussey
My daddy could not hug his grandchildren because he lost the strength to raise his arms. He could cry... and those tears rolled down his face quite often as he lay there watching us live our lives knowing he was not going to beat ALS.
Ken’s Story
My wife and I had to self-navigate/advocate until I joined the iamals.org family. They have continued educating and helping us as we learn to live with this devastating disease.
Tanya’s Story
I will always and forever be an ALS advocate because it changed me too.
Christina’s Story
My father passed in 2017 from ALS.
Stacey’s Story
I’m a caregiver of Randy Gregory.
Isabelle’s Story
I wish I Am ALS had been here when my 45 year old only child/ son was diagnosed with ALS in 2015.
Robin’s Story

Between the shock of his decline, the extensive gauntlet of administrative hurdles, and the complete lack of understanding from the medical providers, I have never felt so alone.
Angela Bowman
I miss her every day but know that she is no longer suffering from this terrible illness.
