Steve Gleason an inspiration to us all!

Steve Gleason

I was very excited to see the story about Steve Gleason that aired during the Super Bowl's pre-game show this past Sunday.

It was a short documentary from Sports Illustrated about Steve's battle with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's Disease).

Millions of people were educated about this devastating disease that has not received as much media attention as other, more common diseases.

I encourage you to learn more about Steve and his courageous fight. Even through all of this, Steve, like so many others afflicted with this disease, is letting his voice be heard for as long as he can speak.
