Cristy Hardin

Cristy’s involvement with ALS advocacy is personal, as she became the primary caretaker and support system for her friend Kurt Ewen during his two-year battle with ALS. With no prior medical experience, her time with Kurt ignited her passion for raising awareness, leading her to start volunteering with I AM ALS in January 2024. Cristy is passionate about connecting with people affected by ALS to educate, encourage, and provide support.
