I am a former US Marine/airline pilot with ALS. I am 76 years and founded ALS Aviation Advocates AKA Vets2defeatALS to bring awareness and assist anyone with ALS. ALS is considered the most deadly and debilitating diseases in the world. The life expectancy with ALS is 1 to 3 years. I am going on 12 years. For 3 years I could not walk or talk, I am now flying airplane. I want to assist others and share with others how they can recover and live longer.
