The ALS Society of Canada is making enormous progress in our efforts to treat this devastating disease.

We never know what life will throw us so cherishing each moment is necessary. Sorry to hear about your friend - it caught my eye because after reading Tuesdays with Morrie, the disease has always had a soft spot in my heart.

A friend of mine lost her father and sister to ALS within the span of three years. It was hard to stand by while she watched her sister's life fade away - first walking, then fine motor skills, then breath. My friend and I have matching bracelets engraved with a simple and profound line: "Every moment is a gift." I don't know what the experience was like for her and her family, but I know that this disease is torturous for all involved. We have a lot to be thankful for, no? Hope to see you soon.
