Ken Timmons has ALS, and he and his family are interviewed in this MDA telethon segment. This segment ran during the MDA telethon to raise money for research and support.

Please support my bother Kenny and other people diagnosed with ALS by donating to my d'Feet ALS walk page.

  • Finding a cure begins with awareness of ALS (aka: Lou Gehrig's Disease)

    LETS DODGE THE BULLET AND BEAT ALS !!!

  • Amy, this was from before we'd ever met your family. I hope you don't mind I'm gonna post this to Facebook to help with the ALS walks. God bless you. RIP Ken, we miss you dearly and are still here to fight this fight so none of your family will ever have to face this horrible disease again.

  • Thank you for posting this story. Powerful, vulnerable and inspirational. God speed to you.

  • kudos to the wife.....taking on the role of caregiver is an extremely difficult job. She is a strong woman. My heart goes out to all have been touched by this horrible illness.

  • I think that's a conspiratorial way of thinking. Many formerly fatal diseases have in fact been cured or are very well treated (polio, TB, polio, malaria etc).

    Very few individuals would be malicious enough to withhold a cure, a cure for ALS would bring in billions, and there will still be diseases to fight for centuries to come.

    Good luck to all these folks. I had an ALS scare which fortunately turned out to be BFS (a common syndrome that causes spasms, weakness, tingling, numbness, etc)

  • I worry that some companys that get a lot of money donated to them, Think to themself's if we find a cure, that will stop all this money coming in. And because of that, they'll leave it for as long as they can looking for a cure. Think about it. Find out what they are doing with the donations, whats there progress and so and so. Good luck.

  • he sounds just like my dad bfore he died.
