Mary’s Story

My ALS journey started back in February 2021. I had dental work done, and after that, I started noticing a slur in my speech. At first, I laughed it off. I was drunk without drinking! No big deal, I thought, I felt fine. In June of that year, I went to my family doctor and she questioned why I waited so long to come.

Chris’s Story

In December 2021, Chris underwent inguinal hernia surgery, but never fully recovered. He developed muscle twitches and drop foot, which his doctor said was not caused by surgery. He began eating less and less – my estimate was under 700 calories a day. Then Chris began having gall bladder attacks, and in March 2022, needed surgery to remove gallstones.

James’s Story

My ALS story started around December 2016. I worked at Ingles Market as a Meat Department Manager and was employed there for 20 years. One day, the boss man called me into the office and asked if I had noticed a change in my voice.

Crystal’s Story

August 2014, I felt the shock of cold water being poured over me as I participated in the ALS ice bucket challenge. Ironically, eight years later in August 2022 I felt a similar shock when I was given the diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
