We are deeply saddened by the passing of ALS warrior Adam Wilson.
Adam was a devoted @Reds fan and a vital member of the committee that helped create Lou Gehrig Day. We are forever grateful for his vision that resulted in this league-wide day of awareness. He was a shining light for the ALS community.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Adam’s family and friends.
From Corey’s family:

Indiana and the ALS community lost a brave fighter and a tireless voice for treatment access for those with ALS this weekend. @CoreyPolen was a true inspiration.
I'll be saying a lot more about Corey and his fight for treatments and cures for ALS on the Senate floor this week.
To my best friend, role model, and Dad all in one. You are freed from that beast. Fly high in your new body.. i love you so much and I can’t wait to see you again. Until then.. i will hold it down here. I love you
We are heartbroken to announce that on February 11th, 2023, Corey passed away peacefully alongside his family. Corey was battling ALS since 2015. Corey fought long and hard as his faith and love guided him through his journey.

When Steve Gleason was diagnosed with ALS in 2011, he set out to make video journals for his son in case he wasn’t around.
His son, Rivers, tells his dad how this has inspired him to be resilient.
His final full season Lou Gehrig hit .295 with 29 home runs. With #ALS. Today, on #LouGehrigDay across @MLB, 2 years after my diagnosis and 1 year after I was supposed to die, I picked up a wood bat with my one useful hand. I am proof. Science is gaining on this disease. 1/4
June 2 will forever be known as Lou Gehrig Day.
Each year, we will celebrate his legacy and honor those we've lost to ALS. Together, we will help in the fight against this disease. #4ALS
Joel Embiid on his matchup with Myles Turner: “I say this respectfully, but that’s a matchup I’ve dominated since I got to the league.”
Embiid tonight:
24 PTS | 13 REB | 5 AST
Turner:
11 PTS | 3 REB
Seems to me, if you can get the citizens of a Democracy to no longer agree on what is objectively true in the world, then you have conquered them with all the strength of an invading army.
