      Hi everyone,

      I was diagnosed with ALS on October 26, 2022.  I have the C9orf72 genetic defect.  My first symptom was an injured left hand (cycling accident) that never got better.

      I live just north of Toronto in Canada.  I’m taking Rilutek and Edovarone i.v.

      More recently I have had balance and mobility problems and a bad fall.  So now I am recovering from fractured (3) and broken (1) ribs.

      What would I shout from the rooftops- if I could get up there? LOL

      HAVE A BUCKET LIST?  Don’t wait. Act now!

      Hope you are all enjoying summer!

      Michelle
