A Voice of Resilience: Ian's ALS Story

By fall 2024, Ian has lived with ALS for about 7 years. A retired, high school teacher, Ian is still able to speak, eat and has little use of his hands. He gets around by motorized wheelchair. Ian generously shared his ALS story with us and we are sharing it with you. Not just to raise awareness about ALS, but also to share some of Ian's wisdom, having lived with ALS for some time.
