One of the guys I played rec b’ball with for years was afflicted with ALS. One fall he was playing with us; the next season he was dead. Now another guy who plays with us from time to time is showing what look like early symptoms, not diagnosed yet.
I feel very bad for this youngish man....but I feel just as bad about all the others too...
I'm told by my husbands cousin who has ALS that the bucket challenge money really did not help like people think it did...best to give to companies that do direct research on it or local chapters that give actual help to sufferers..
