Default Re: ALS disease

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) often called Lou Gehrig’s disease, after the famous baseball player who died of it in 1941, occurs in one to three people per 100,000 worldwide. It is a serious neurological disease, which causes muscle weakness, disability and eventually death.
It is true that most people with ALS survive only two to five years after diagnosis. And yet Professor Stephen Hawking, the internationally renowned British Physicist, has been battling successfully with ALS for more than 40 years since he had the disease. This brilliant man, who has striven through a lot of adversities to accomplish what he has achieved, remains an inspiration for all those having ALS.
