We join the entire #ALS community in celebrating yesterday’s passage of #ACTforALS. This is a monumental victory for patients living with ALS by creating new pathways to deliver treatments that could help them. #NeverGiveUp
Join us on May 5th for part 3 of the #ALS Drug Development Webinar Series featuring Dr. Zachary Simmons from Penn State Health M.S. Hershey Medical Center and Dr. Richard Bedlack from @dukealsclinic conta.cc/3v3iouR
Everyone should feel comfortable and empowered in their own home. Check out the resources below covering all things related to home care for those living with #ALS or providing care to a loved one. We're here for you! bit.ly/2Q23W71
Fun Fact: There will be a 69% increase in ALS by 2040. Maybe then those in power will feel compelled to act. Let the records show that we tried to build pathways. From one ALS family to a future one - You. Do. Not. Want. This. Disease. 💔ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
I’m often asked, “what does it feel like to have ALS day to day?” So I’ve decided to use my Instagram account (@alsyougone) to post a few videos each day showing the struggle and the laughter. I’m scared sh*tless but I hope you’ll join me in the journey. Good night moon.
Want to help ALS patients? 👇...#EndALS
Happy 46th to my ALS warrior! @gregkochak
As you shop your heart out today for #PrimeDay2020 show us a little love by shopping on @amazonsmile and clicking to support I AM ALS. smile.amazon.com/ch/83-2016277 Thank you for helping to put an end to ALS and being a part of this movement for cures.

My wife looked at me today, paused, and said, “This life with ALS is hard.” She’s right. There is no way to sugarcoat it, this disease is a motherf*cker. Every day you have to retrench, reassess what you can do—stairs, showering, eating, breathing. /1
Today @alsassociation and @iamalsorg announced that they have awarded $500,000 to @BrainstormCell to support ALS biomarker research and to study how NurOwn works in the body. prnewswire.com/news-releases/… #ALS #ALSResearch
Happiest of birthdays to Daddo! @gregkochak #birthdayinquarantine

I am constantly humbled that anyone follows me as the ALS journey is not easy to watch. Given that I make this ask with humility and hope: (i) forgo 2 coffees this week to donate $10 before midnight; (ii) call out 2 friends to do the same; (iii) do your hair toss #ALSYouGone

In exactly one week @US_FDA and @BrainstormCell will meet to discuss NurOwn. The ask from the ALS community is simple: Give NurOwn an Advisory Committee Meeting like every other treatment. It’s time to let the science speak for itself.

When my older daughter left for school this morning she said to me, “Bye daddy, I won’t see you again until tonight when you finish work.” So I decided to surprise her by picking her up from school. Happy weekend all.
This week I got to see my older daughter turn 6. Got to tell her in my raspy ALS voice that I am so proud of her. Got to hug her and her sister. The last 4 years have been far different than I imagined. But I’m still here. And for that I am truly grateful.
It was amazing to see communities all over the country come together on #LouGehrigDay, all with a passion to FINALLY put an end to #ALS. We can't wait to see what the celebration will be like when treatments and cures are available. #EndALS
My 5 year old helped me walk to my bed tonight. Once she made sure my ALS riddled body was seated, she climbed next to me, looked into my eyes and asked the following question: “Daddy, when you were my age did you worry about dying?” Let’s end ALS, please. Good night moon.
My older daughter described me tonight as being incredibly patient. When we asked why she said, “I mean, Daddy, you’ve been waiting 4 years for ALS medicine.” Advocacy and optimism run deep already. Good night moon.
My 3 and 5 year old daughters have seen my amazing wife feed me, help me get dressed, get into my wheelchair and so much more. I dream every day about the dinner where I can say to them, “Mommy doesn’t have to do any of that anymore because we found cures for Daddy’s ALS.”
Pieces of a life. Memories of what was. Of what was to be. Memories of #ALS Today is Fred’s birthday. He died waiting. Every moment. Birthday’s Matter. Cure #ALS Give the gift that will go on giving. #NoWhiteFlags #EndALS #EnoughIsEnough #NoComment ✌🏻🍻😎
We have the chance to dream of a better tomorrow because someone, somewhere fought for us. We may never know who but I plan to truly seize tomorrow as a thank you. Good night moon.
Everyone should feel comfortable and empowered in their own home. Check out the resources below covering all things related to home care for those living with #ALS or providing care to a loved one. We're here for you! bit.ly/2Q23W71

@gregkochak @iamalsorg I’m sorry for your loss. 🙏🙏🙏
@gregkochak @iamalsorg This EXACT beast took my mom not long ago. My heart breaks for you. My mom fought like hell to the end.
@gregkochak @iamalsorg Brave heart. Courage. Love. Respect and prayer. This ALS community has affected me more than any other group I have engaged with. I was a pastor- University Ombuds- Government Adjudicator for disabled and I stumbled on @ChrisSnowCGY @iamalsorg @bsw5020 . You changed me. Love
@gregkochak @iamalsorg Oh God! I send you my heartfelt condolences. What a handsome man. I am so very sorry! SOMETHING HAS GOT TO FUCKING GIVE !!!!
