We lost a member of our group on Friday night.
JP Poirier, from Gibsons, BC, was 42 years old. He leaves behind his wife and two young daughters.
Every life lost to ALS is one too many. We will not stop fighting until there are treatments and cures.

My husband JP fought for as long as he could. I hope one day for a world with a cure for ALS so no one and no other family has to suffer they way we have and JP did. Take action #EndALS by visiting https://t.co/ptBDHtui2W https://t.co/epzFAvHgmm #AxeAls#GoFundMe
If I get 1 viral tweet in life I hope this is it.
My wife married an athlete, who had limitless energy and was a true partner. Then came ALS and she had to dress, shower and care for me. She has borne these burdens with incredible courage and strength.
I love you @sabrevaya.
@GregGowe@YourMorning Greg, thank you for sharing your story today. We lost my dad’s best friend to ALS, and your words were incredibly impactful. I’ve signed the petition, and forwarded it along to my family as well.
You have until Jan. 5th to sign this petition for timely access to #ALS treatments.
Please sign & share: https://t.co/91GtyHxlQJ…

Folks! As @kelsieswrites has been championing, here’s a petition that’s worth signing in the fight against ALS. Former Canuck Aaron Volpatti is on board too. https://t.co/V75ARwyesH
Canadian friends! Did you know after Health Canada approves an ALS treatment it can take 18-24 months for patients to get it? You can help shorten that to 3-6 months by signing this petition! This isn’t radical change. It’s humane change. And you can help! https://t.co/682CLOykb5
The Canadian ALS community (@ALSAction) has launched a petition calling on Canada's Health Minister to initiate a pilot program to speed up the approval process for new ALS therapies. We would be grateful if you would consider signing it and sharing it: #EndALS@GregGowe
