THIS IS THE BONUS VERSION WITH PIX OF EACH SPEAKER.
I have been helping to create the first ever residence for people living with ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease. My inspiration comes from my friend Ron who lives with grace and optimism in conditions of which most would prefer death. Recently diagnosed when we met, I knew that my life's new mission was to give Ron, myself, and thousands like us a choice to live with ALS and not die of it.

I was extremely fortunate to meet Barry Berman who not only shared my dream, but was in a position to do something about it. To give this speech at the groundbreaking of a home that will give back so much of what ALS has taken away is a huge honor. To Ron I say, we're getting close. To everyone else, hang in there for the ribbon cutting.
