ALS - Run

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

My dad died from Lou Gherig's last November. I miss him tremendously. He loved to excercise.....

I was in a car accident last year and have had to do physio and exercises to walk any distance again. I used to complain about how dreary running was - I can only hope I get to run again.

Absolutely brilliant commercial, lures you in with it's offbeat novelty, then hits you with the "punchline" that makes it all make sense, and leaves you with something to think about.

Brilliant.
