I am Robert Perez

living with ALS

New York


I remember being able to hug my wife, I cannot do that today.

My life with ALS:

As a veteran, I remember running, doing exercise and eating to stay healthy. I cannot do that today.
I remember walking with my grandchildren, I cannot do that today.
I remember being able to visit family members, I cannot do that today.
I remember being able to hug my wife, I cannot do that today.
I remember being able to button my shirts, I cannot do that today.
I remember being able to wash myself in the showers, I cannot do that today.
Can you?
Please, I am able to think but I am not able to do anything without the help of my wife. Please help and legislate for a cure, fund companies with trails help find a cure.
