@antisocialbritt thank you for your thread. I’m inspired to create a thread of young adult books that discuss race & racism. Anybody can feel free to add to this list:

Tonight I can’t be positive. A 25 year old fighting ALS passed away. Her name was Jaci. Her family had already lost her twin, Alex, to ALS.

She was a warrior. Let’s build an army to finish her fight. Follow me and I’ll follow you. Together we will make her legacy ending ALS.

[Roxanne Price @ReadEnjoyLife]

@DebraMessing Each one of you were amazing! You looked so much like her.

[Roxanne Price @ReadEnjoyLife]

@WillAndGrace Best. Show. Ever.

[Brian Wallach @bsw5020]

As twitter pulses with tweets about impeachment, I wanted to inject a thread about family.

It is often said that when a person is diagnosed with a terminal illness, their entire family is also diagnosed as no one can fight this fight on their own.

I am living proof.

[Brian Wallach @bsw5020]

Every person living with ALS matters.

Every death from ALS hurts equally.

We rise each morning and fight for treatments and cures for all of us. I've lost too many good friends, shed too many tears to ever rest while I'm breathing.

And I plan on breathing for a long time.

@storytime_show Happy birthday!

[Brian Wallach @bsw5020]

On my flight last night a stranger in the seat next to me helped me repeatedly with my bags. Later in the flight, I offered to pick up the beer he ordered as a thank you. He declined because “people should just do good things for others.”

Here it is! The longest TD catch by a RB in school history. Javon Williams Jr. goes 85 yards. Mike Reis and Co. with the call.

[Brian Wallach @bsw5020]

As long as I have a voice, I will use it.
As long as I have legs, I will stand and fight.
As long as I have breath, I will live for today and dream of tomorrow.

When I falter, I know you will be there to carry on the fight. So even then, I will smile.

Never fails...people will stop Brian and ask, “what is I AM ALS?” The t-shirt is a great source of engagement and education. ⁦@iamalsorg⁩

[Brian Wallach @bsw5020]

This. This I ❤️.

Thank you @jimmykimmel for supporting your brave crew member fighting ALS. Together, we can and will #endALS.

It has been 2 years today that #als and #ftd took my mom. Not a day goes by that she isn't in my thoughts. She was a kind, loving soul that had your back no matter what. #ihateals #FindACure @ALS_STLRegion @iamalsorg #MND #missingmom

[ALS St. Louis Region @ALS_STLRegion]

Right now, 40 million Americans are serving as unpaid family #caregivers for a loved one. Actor @RobLowe, who was a #carepartner for his mom during his 30s, writes in @USAToday about how to navigate the mental, physical & emotional stress of #caregiving: https://t.co/GAW4j8su8f

Me: [walk/shuffle towards @lyft and then sit down]

Driver: you have a foot injury?

Me: Foot is okay. The walk is unfortunately because I have ALS.

Driver: ...

Me: It’s...

Driver: I’m so sorry. Can I give you a hug at the end of the ride.

Me: Absolutely.
