awareness to ALS

Today I am going to share with you something that is totally unrelated to most of the stuff I write about on here but a cause that is very near and dear to my heart.  If any of you are Saints fans or happened to catch part of yesterdays pre-game show, you probably saw The Steve Gleason Story.  I went to high school with Steve and his brother who were both amazing athletes.  Steve's story, although very heartbreaking, is also incredibly inspiring and is helping to bring the much needed awareness to ALS.


"It's not about the blocked punt or the Superbowl ring. It's about the relationships,
love and what you do when you walk out of this room." - Steve Gleason


You can read about Steve's journey and battle with ALS and the mission of the Team Gleason Foundation here.  I just hope that one day we find a cure for this harrowing disease.

Take seven minutes and watch this.  You will be inspired on this Monday morning.
