In a poorly diagnosed disease such as ALS, promoting demographics based on incomplete samples can be self-fulfilling. White guys' disease? How many people of color or grannies or others who don't look like Lou G never are dx'd b4 they die?

In case you missed this last night, if you are at all involved in the fight against ALS please take 5 minutes to read👇release today. Everyone. Including you The ALS Association. The more you know about EAPs, the more you understand their importance in this fight.

June 2nd will forever be known as Lou Gehrig Day, a reminder to us all that the need for a cure for ALS is as pressing as it was 80 years ago:

ALS can strike all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds. That includes young, active women. If you are a woman under 35 and living with #ALS share your story and help show the world that this disease can impact anyone. #InHerALSShoes #InternationalWomensDay bit.ly/3rwe71B

Every, single day I screw something up. I used to get mad. Now I smile and hope I get the chance to get it right tomorrow. Good night moon.

An ask from a guy living with/dying from ALS: send someone you love a tweet, text or email now saying you love them and thanking them for being an amazing part of your life. Live like today is precious. Because it is. Good night moon.

Tomorrow is the day!! Matt and I will be taking off from Pittsburgh for DC in the morning! Please consider donating to my tri-state trek fundraiser as I will be biking in my dad's memory. tst.als.net/mgeniviva #endals ALS TDI

Saw another #narcolepsy project today developed with "experts" but w/out any patient perspectives... Curious: would you take advice on driving a car 🚗 from someone whose never been behind a wheel? OR learn tennis 🎾 from people who've never actually played tennis?

Motion to have chronically ill disabled people in charge of pandemic response policy, effective immediately.

Pitt football will be the death of me and I can't think of a better way to go #H2P

.Cigna Healthcare, your flawed decision to deny people on your insurance coverage for Relyvrio is inhumane. Your decision impacts real people who are trying to fight a 100% fatal disease. They don’t have time to wait. Reverse your decision now.
