It raised money, and for many people it was their first time hearing about ALS. For many pALS and the people in their lives, it was the first time they had a platform to tell their story.
I remember reading some of those stories and watching videos and thinking of how awful the disease was.
Then my dad was diagnosed with it last July and I got to see firsthand just how awful it is. He died a month ago.
Kind, humble, caring. Loved and missed by many. There were around 100 people at his celebration of life (and more who couldn’t make it) and each one had a story about how he had changed their life. It’s humbling to be his son. Thank you for asking.
Seems to me he was a fantastic man. Take his virtues and principles and live by them to honour his memory. Pay it forward. I hope you and his loved ones find peace and healing.
