Over 11 years into my life with ALS, I can stand up & transfer, breathe on my own 24/7, feed myself, chew & swallow, hold my head up, & get in and out of bed on my own. And yet, I don't feel so lucky. #ALSAwareness #EndALS #ALS #Disability #MND #MotorNeuroDisease #MNDAwareness

I have ALS. And most of the time, people have at least some understanding of what that means to me and my life. But sometimes, I just want to grab people, and shake them, and say I'M DYING! Don't you understand what that means? #ALS #ALSAwareness #Terminal #EndALS

"The ideal male body type is Danny DeVito." - as seen in a #Tinder profile 😂🤣 Read about online dating with #ALS in my latest blog. This might be the best thing I’ve ever written. Enjoy!

“I grew up in the backyard, on the sidewalks, streets, and driveways, and in the half-dozen parcels of woods that made up the neighborhood…When I began to lose that pillar of my life, I did the only thing I could: I fought to keep it.” 1st and last line

I continue to search for meaning in this #ALS life. "A meaningful life can be extremely satisfying even in the midst of hardship, whereas a meaningless life is a terrible ordeal no matter how comfortable it is."

Amazon put "A Life Derailed" on sale just in time for Global MND Awareness Day! If you were $1.31 away from buying a paperback copy, you're in luck! I have no idea how long this will last. #ALS #MND #MNDAwareness #EndALS #ALSAwareness #memoir #independentauthor

As a 4’ 10” freshman in high school, I was crowned Pickleball Champion of my gym class. I was the shortest person in the entire building and beat a senior in the finals. Guess I peaked about 20 years too soon. #alifederailed #ThisIsALS #EndALS #ALSAwareness #MND #MNDAwareness
