ALS - Hug

ALS or also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), is the most common form of motor neuron disease. It is a progressive and ultimately fatal neuromuscular disease.

ALS causes nerve cells to degenerate. The voluntary muscles weaken and become immobile. ALS leaves the senses unimpaired and the intellect is often unaffected.

The video was taken from ALS Society of Canada. http://www.als.ca

I just found out yesterday that my dad has ALS and I am really scared and sad. It helps to see videos and read people's comments that are supportive of folks with ALS and their families. It helps me feel not-so-scared.

This song is perfect for the cause and the commercial. Does anyone know who it's by?

@twilightwoods92 my aunt had ALS for 2 years, in the first year she lost everything, her speech, and her movement but she had a fully functional mind. it was hard to see her like that. she died in march of this year. i made a memoir video for her. its on my channel. its just one of the things i could do to show how much i love nd miss her, and how much of an inspiration she was to everyone.
