Yes I am a newbie but a long time (five years) ALS Advocate for a change. I have grown tired of the standard chit chat forums that are making my head spin. I am looking and interested in anything ALS, whether it be political or ADA related. My philosophy is, each day must have a positive outcome if we are to educate the public.
In the last few weeks I have been impressed by one man by the name of Michael Goldsmith. The BYU law professor that arm wrestled MLB baseball into, after 70 years, to finally recognize Lou Gehrig and joined hands with four non-profits to raise funds and awareness. This individual did more with one letter, and he simply came out of nowhere. One letter, one day, one man, one positive day. I need to take a lesson from this moment.
