Rolling over ALS

An incredible couple, Ken & Glenda Patterson, travelled from Orlando to Washington, DC by wheelchair to spread awareness about ALS. I hope no one ever has to do this again because it is a treacherous and exhausting experience for anyone, nevermind the fact that he is suffering with ALS. If you see this video, do something. Make a donation to ALSTDI to help find a cure. If you don't have money, send them a thank you at rolloverals.org because they didn't do this for themselves.

Thanks for sharing the photos and video from the trip. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished. You have helped bring this disease into the spotlight.

Ken and Glenda, what an awesome task and journey you took! I cried through the whole video, I lost my mother to ALS November 2003. Your courage inspires me. Your courage will help you through this disease. Think of how many people now know a little more about ALS today than prior to your journey. I believe Awareness is key to helping find a cure. God bless you and your family. Sonia, British Columbia, Canada

Hi Ken and Glenda, I watched this video with tears and such pride. As a daughter of the most wonderful daddy to ever live on this earth--Arnold Hodes, I thank you. My dad entered heavens gate on May 5, 2006. He fought the disease with dignity and such courage and faith. I know he is applauding you from heaven and I thank you with all my heart. Love, Debbie Hodes-Wewer

Ken, You are inspiring. I also have ALS and your journey has given me hope and motivation to continue with my own journey of life. I appreciate how difficult this was and that it was made possible by the loving support of Glenda and your team. Kudos to all. We must advocate for an all out war against ALS and other neuromuscular diseases that rob us of our bodies and advocate for increased funding for research to find a cure and allieve the life threatening symptons of ALS.
