Dan’s daughter, Sam, has been living with ALS since she was diagnosed in 2022 at the age of 25. Sam was determined to continue living her life to the fullest – and Dan was committed to facilitating that goal in any way he could. https://lnkd.in/gY2WmgFj

"As ALS gradually takes away my physical abilities, it only deepens my resolve to fight for cures and make a lasting impact." When Della Larsen, a retired kindergarten teacher and mother of three, was diagnosed with ALS in 2023, her world stopped. Della once imagined a future filled with joyful milestones—watching her children build their families, playing with grandchildren, and exploring the world. Since her ALS diagnosis, she has recorded herself reading kids books so she can be there in spirit for her future grandchildren, even if she can’t hold them. Despite the challenges of ALS, Della finds hope in the work of ALS TDI, where researchers are advancing promising ALS treatments and working toward cures. Join Della in her fight to create a future without ALS. Donate today to help fund critical research here: https://lnkd.in/dHw6nkh5
