Today We Remember Lou Gehrig

On this date in 1941, a 37-year-old Lou Gehrig died.

We should be making a big splash on these dates in history that give us such meaningful reference points to understand ALS.

Silence is not golden when it comes to ALS advocacy.

    I had forgotten that June 2 was also the day that Lou Gehrig replaced Wally Pipp in the lineup in 1925. June 2 is far too important a day to have passed without fanfare. Here is a nice piece on Lou...

    Why no fanfare from the ALS p.r. machines???

    Since we get regular visits here from some ALS not-for-profits, perhaps this will be of interest -- http://alsspreadtheword.blogspot.com/2009/06/dear-als-pr-machines-lets-set-some.html
