I am Lisa Partin

a family member of someone we've lost to ALS

Ohio

I hate this disease more than anything for taking my daddy away.

My dad was diagnosed with ALS and passed away in September 2016. It has been so devastating to my family. He was our rock and my best friend! I would give anything to have him back. I made a promise to him and told him if he couldn’t walk, I would walk for him. I’ve made a commitment to participate in the ALS walk every year, and I will continue until there is a cure! I hate this disease more than anything for taking my daddy away. I will fight for a cure. (Fuck) ALS.
