Coping+with+ALS

A person with ALS can look at their life as a beginning of a slow death or you could look at the opportunity for enrichment. That is a choice only yourself can make.

Many choices can be made, from choosing to develop closer relationships with family and friends. Making new friends with others who are also involved with ALS, perhaps by making a new friend with the same diagnosis can brighten the day by knowing your not alone with this. Learning to communicate through the internet. Join the ALS Society of Canada, where you can find information on new medication that is used, where the clinics are, and who else is affected by ALS.

One day if i was diagnosed with this disease i would have to say it would devastate a part of my life. Socially i love to go out and socialize with friends, family and people i love. I walk every day, and at times during the week i go jogging. I am a very active individual, with very many goals ahead. I believe that Lou Gehrig's disease would stop me from doing many things i love and perhaps by taking the things i love so much out of my life. Therefore it would hurt my way of being healthy. I have 3 beautiful girls and we are always out playing, swimming, skiing, fishing, and people with this disease do end up missing a lot of the things they loved the most out of life. I do have to say if i ever was given this kind of road to take, i would participate in a lot of awareness for this disease. I believe people have to become more aware and more research is needed in finding a cure.

I am registered for the walk for ALS wich will take place in Moncton this June 12, 2010. It is one of the biggest fundraiser of the year. I believe if i can be there i can make a difference for the ones that are no longer able to walk due to this medical condition. [] **//Anyone can make a difference and walk with us !//**
