Lou Gehrig & ALS

Do you know Lou? Lou Gehrig is one of the greatest baseball players of all time. So much so that Major League Baseball designated June 2nd Lou Gehrig Day. But did you know his career ended earlier due to a neurological disease that caused his muscles to stop working? Lou Gehrig had Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and it ended his life.
Lou’s legacy continues, but unfortunately so does ALS. It remains a fatal disease. Watch and learn about this incredible person, this terrible disease, and the efforts to make ALS history.
