In July of 2016 I was diagnosed with ALS. It came after a few months of diminishing strength and dexterity in my arms and legs. In the time since I have become more hopeful, not less, as I have connected with some of the best doctors and researchers in the country specializing in ALS cases. There is a lot to learn, and there is very impressive work being done. Eliza and I are involved in some of the ways that we can.
The support of family and friends have made all the difference for Eliza, the boys, and me. There are daily physical frustrations, but life is awfully good in all the ways that really count./
I remain justifiably and steadfastly hopeful.
