I am Cate Prato

living with ALS

Massachusetts

My goal is to live my life to the fullest as long as I can and to be a burden on my family as short a time as I can.

I was diagnosed with ALS in August of 2019 after two years of symptoms, which started in my left hand. I’m progressing slowly and am still able to walk, work and travel (until COVID-19). My goal is to live my life to the fullest as long as I can and to be a burden on my family as short a time as I can.
