ALS is a debilitating disease.
Once diagnosed, many individuals opt to remove themselves from the public eye when they lose the ability to talk, eat, smile, walk.. all activities driven by voluntary muscles. Others immediately start a bucket list. Can you imagine what you would do if you were given 3-5 years to live, or less?
These people living with ALS (PALS) and their support systems (caregivers, family and friends), often accomplish incredible feats. Feats inspired by avoidance of death and a full awareness of their current capabilities.
Over the past 12 years, MOFF has seen individuals accomplish marathons, ironmans, pour their life savings into ALS research, and even fund the construction of entire hospitals to support ALS patient care.
The ALS INSPIRE SERIES serves as a platform to showcase these remarkable individuals and their accomplishments.
