In exactly one week @US_FDA and @BrainstormCell will meet to discuss NurOwn.
The ask from the ALS community is simple: Give NurOwn an Advisory Committee Meeting like every other treatment.
It’s time to let the science speak for itself.
To my #ALS family, this is where my journey ends. After a month long battle with aspiration pneumonia, it's clear my lungs are not bouncing back. It's off to hospice care. I leave behind my beautiful wife and 3 kids. @DrCaliff_FDA I'm a proud dad. Just wanted more time. #NurOwn
We can’t control what life throws at us…
At 37, I was diagnosed with ALS. It’s currently 100% fatal.
I’m now 41, and yesterday I did a thing I never expected to do again: I skied, turning by leaning my body. After I cried tears of joy.
…but we can control how we respond.
.@SenatorMenendez Thank you for being an ALS champion! By supporting ACT for ALS, you are helping advance access to promising treatments and ALS research!
Last night I choked back tears. After spending a couple of hours in the TX evening heat doing some yard work , my wife brought me inside via my PWC. She then spoon fed me a soft meal. After a bit , she brought me to our room.

This is ALS. This is who we fight for today and every day. #LouGehrigDay
Tomorrow on #LouGehrigDay the first ever national TV ad about ALS airs.
First during @jaketapper’s show, then on @TeamCavuto and each game.
I am dying from the same disease that killed Lou. You can change that.
Please make this ad go viral and help @iamalsorg end Lou’s fight.
Looking for thoughts, prayers, and good energy as Jeff undergoes a tracheostomy. This is a big step as continues his battle with ALS and will hopefully ease the stress of the breathing process enabling him to live more comfortably.
Please send all your good vibes his way!
Today, we added our 100th cosponsor to the bipartisan ACT for ALS, which creates new pathways to deliver promising treatments for those who have suffered endlessly from this cruel, aggressive disease. @iamalsorg@alsassociation@MDAorg#ALS
