Listen in and hear a beautiful testimony of how ordinary people have united to end ALS and change the world. This episode is a celebration of hope, love and community.  I celebrate I AM ALS turning 2, by talking with Cathy Collet, Jill Brattain and Nadia Sethi who have all lost someone to ALS.   All are driven by their heart to end ALS through their involvement with the patient-led group I AM ALS .  Cathy, Jill and Nadia share what gives them hope, why we should celebrate and what they are dying to tell you.  I AM ALS was created to not only cure ALS but to unlock critical breakthroughs that will help defeat Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Frontotemporal Dementia, and beyond.   
Thanks for listening!  Hugs, Lorri

This is one of the sweetest stories to come out of the 2020 pandemic.  In this heartwarming episode, I chat with Nina Ambrose, who like many was devastated when lockdown rules prevented her from seeing her dad Roger, 77, who moved into a care home in January.  After being furloughed from her job, Nina took on a volunteer position at the care home so she could see her father during the pandemic lockdown.  Nina's father has had Alzheimer's for 12 years and sheds light on living with this tough disease.

You don't wanna miss my chat with this 36 year old who has experienced so much loss yet has gained such a valuable perspective on life and happiness.  ALS has taken her ability to talk, walk, move and breath on her own.  In her book, Pursuit Of Happiness: From Heels to Wheels, Mayuri Saxena shares her five pillars of truth that she discovered in her pursuit for true happiness.  In this episode, you'll learn what those are and hear Mayuri share how she discovered them.  Newly divorced and happily single, Mayuri had just relaunched her life in the Big Apple.  She faced many of the challenges common to women in their early 30s: the shock of suddenly being independent again, the frustration of a stalled career, and then was diagnosed with ALS.   Now, she is a beautiful example of breaking down barriers and rewriting your own destiny.  Thanks for listening.
