“I might have been given a bad break. But I’ve got an awful lot to live for.”

87 years after Lou Gehrig became the face of ALS, there is still no cure.

Today on #LouGehrigDay, we continue our mission to raise awareness of ALS, support the need for research and care, remember those who bravely fought, and recognize those who continue to battle.

ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky’s son Madden who has autism broke into “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” while his dad watched on with tears in his eyes.

The moment was to honor Autism Awareness Day.

One of the best videos ever ❤️🙏

Six years ago, I got a call I never expected would change my life forever.

It was 2018. A routine welfare check. The kind of call we take dozens of times a year. I pulled up to the address in Kingman, Arizona, walked through the door — and found a two-year-old girl sitting alone. Her name was Kaila.

She had a skull injury. A brain bleed. A dislocated elbow. She was two years old.

I sat down on the floor with her and waited for social services to arrive. We played. We talked in that way toddlers and adults talk — mostly her babbling, me listening like every word mattered. And honestly? Every word did.

When child services finally asked if my wife and I would consider fostering her, I called home before I even left the scene.

Kaila moved in that week. We told ourselves it was temporary. We told ourselves not to get attached.

Within days, she called my wife "Mom."

We never looked back.

The paperwork took time. The process wasn't easy. But the moment a judge made it official and Kaila became ours — permanently, legally, completely — there wasn't a dry eye in that courtroom. Not even from the cop who thought he was just answering a welfare check.

She's in preschool now. She runs into the house after school, backpack bouncing, talking a million miles a minute. She has no idea that the man she calls Dad was the first person who ever sat down on the floor and made her feel safe.

Someday I'll tell her. For now, I'm just her dad.

"People ask me if I feel like a hero. I don't. I just answered a call. She's the one who walked into a broken situation and still chose to love us back. That's the remarkable part."

Seeing my mom’s sewing kit at my nieces house today made my day. Made me a little less sad. No such thing as coincidence!!
