I am Nicole McCabe
living with ALS
Washington
We must take a stand together and fix the broken system. Until then, I will fight with all my might until ALS takes my last breath.
Just a couple of weeks after my 32nd birthday I heard those haunting words ALS. How could this be? I was running half marathons and working out at 4am at least 4-5 days a week. Life was perfect for us. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 15yrs., we have two beautiful healthy children, and my career of 14yrs in pediatrics was successful and filled my heart with so much joy.
Everything changed so quickly for me. The weakness set in a lot quicker than I had anticipated. Learning to accept help from others was very difficult. But having strong faith and a loving support system has fueled my fire. I’m here to fight for ALS lives and help make a change in the world of ALS. It can strike anyone at anytime. We must take a stand together and fix the broken system. Until then, I will fight with all my might until ALS takes my last breath.
