“We need more Steve’s in this world.” Yes, yes we do. Incredibly grateful to have known Steve. In fact, we had just emailed a little over a week ago. A great dad, an amazing advocate, and overall a wonderful human. 💜

This one hit home. Although I work in ALS, my mom is in the very early stages of dementia and so “caregiver” takes on new meaning. “It’s when someone needs you physically and emotionally to have a life with purpose, to feel loved.”

Needed the reminder.

Looking forward to a week of learning, sharing, and collaboration at the international meetings on ALS/MND in Montreal. #aWorldFreeOfALS #ALSMNDWithoutBorders @ALSCanada

So proud to be a part of this amazing community to have moved the needle in this way to support people living with ALS and their families.

Today, ALS Canada celebrates a monumental advocacy achievement: the Ontario Government's commitment of $13 million over three years in the 2024 Fall Economic Statement to support the Ontario Provincial ALS Program.

To the ALS community, thank you. Together, we did this. This significant milestone was reached because of your collective action and tireless advocacy for change.

Celebrate every moment you CAN do something and you GET to do something. Even when that’s 42.2km… race day tomorrow and feeling the nerves but excitement too! All positive vibes welcome 🫶🏼 #42at42

@GOtransit I understand. Just doesn’t seem very thoughtful of customers that you’ve chosen one of the busiest and highest traffic weekends to put this into place as many people choose to take GO transit to avoid busy highways during long weekends to visit family and friends.

[Jennifer Asselin @jasselin]

@GOtransit service adjustments over the Thanksgiving weekend where bus service is running between Maple and Allandale. Why would you choose one of the busiest weekends for traveling north to do this?

We are lucky to have you contribute to this new series of posts for @ALSCanada. Thank you for being open and honest throughout the last five years. Keep making those memories and we’ll continue to share them 💜

[Steven Gallagher @SteveGMedia]

I reflect on living with ALS for five years in @ALSCanada's new blog series. Life has changed a lot since diagnosis, but I'm still here making memories and raising awareness. I appreciate the support and words of encouragement on this platform 💜

Incredible to see how far we’ve come in a decade and to know that the funding received from the #ALSIceBucketChallenge has made a real impact. Take the plunge 10 years later and make a donation! https://t.co/FAgtWjbloR

[ALS Canada @ALSCanada]

Celebrate the 10th anniversary of the #ALSIceBucketChallenge and take the plunge with ALS Canada! 🧊🎉

@laurenandart @shawlaw @SaraBareilles I had to refresh the “buy ticket” link until it started working. At one point I did get a spinning wheel of death but fortunately it worked out. Positive thoughts!!

[Jennifer Asselin @jasselin]

@shawlaw @SaraBareilles Just got a ticket and will now have to book flights from Toronto - I hope you get in!

[Jennifer Asselin @jasselin]

If this doesn’t move you, I don’t know what will.

Rita Mama said “The Choir and the competition are out” and look at her in the CHOIR!

Grateful for the @VIA_Rail customer service agent and boarding agent who gave me some quick tips today to get me rebooked on likely the last departing train from Ottawa. Convinced good karma pays off. Will pay it forward!

I just found the digital archive of all of my university student newspapers. A treasure trove of reading material!!
