Watched an interesting film last night: “You’re Not You”. Didn’t realize up front that the girl Hilary Swank plays is suffering from ALS - Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. As I mention on my website (peterjennings.me), I think it’s reasonable for those of us with any kind of web presence to show support for causes, and ALS is the one I’ve chosen. It’s a motor neuron disease that gradually paralyzes people because the brain is no longer able to communicate with the muscles of the body. There’s no known cause and no cure, and that’s why I’m supporting efforts to help change that. Important new discoveries have scientists sorting through the way the ALS mutation plays out inside the brain's motor neuron cells. They say, “ALS is not an incurable disease: it is an underfunded one”. So I hope you’ll join me in donating to the Canadian and U.S teams who are in this fight:
