“I would love it if the afterlife looked like the eighties.” —Sarah

In this episode of 'Dying to Tell You,' Cody chats with Sarah Parton, who shares her incredible journey living with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis).

Sarah talks about her initial shock at the diagnosis, the ups and downs she faces daily, and how she keeps her sense of humor and optimism alive. She opens up about the importance of the ALS community, her coping strategies, and why she decided against invasive treatments. Sarah also gives us a peek into her fun plans for the afterlife, her love for the '80s, and why she’s determined to enjoy every moment.

Join Cody and Sarah for a conversation that's full of laughter, heartfelt moments, and inspiration.

Sarah wants to give a shoutout to two organizations that are amazing resources for anyone facing ALS:

Live Like Lou — Supporting families affected by ALS, funding ALS research to find treatments or a cure for Lou Gehrig’s disease, and honoring Lou Gehrig’s legacy.

Team Gleason — Empowering people with ALS to live purposeful lives.
