OUR FINISH LINE SAYS ALS DONE!
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative disease that attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord causing a loss of muscle control. I didn’t fully understand the impact that ALS can have until I watched my father-in-law battle it. He fought for three years before we lost him on April 4th, 2023. Mike was a great man, a loving father, and most importantly an amazing Grampy. He was always happiest when he was playing with his grandsons. When my son was born, ALS had already taken Mike’s voice and his ability to walk but his eyes showed just how happy he was to hold his grandson. It breaks my heart that Conner will never spend a summer day swimming with Grampy. I am running the Falmouth Road race this year to raise money for the ALS One organization so they can continue to help families impacted by this awful disease. Most importantly, I want to do my part to help them find a cure so that ALS can never take another Grampy. Love & miss you Mike. #Tufts64Strong
