ALS was originally identified in 1869 but didn't become widely known until 1939 when it ended the career of Lou Gehrig, one of baseball’s most beloved players. Since then, the search for a cure has never ceased. Because of your support, great progress has been made - but there’s still much more work to be done. Help us end #ALS this #GivingTuesday. https://lnkd.in/dxwiWJMR

Stacey Kinsey thought she was done with the day-to-day caregiving part of being a mom. Her daughter Shelby had just graduated from college, after all. But when Shelby was diagnosed with a rare genetic form of ALS, all that changed. Still, both mom and daughter have faced their new situation with grace, and humor. https://lnkd.in/dBjXkfMZ #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth

During the giving season we come together to shine a light on people living with ALS. People like Shelby, who was diagnosed at just 22 years old. Even as she faces the challenges of living with the disease, Shelby is finding ways to advocate for change, not just for herself, but the entire #ALS community. Support people like Shelby by making a contribution today: https://lnkd.in/dxwiWJMR #GivingTuesday
