Lou Gehrig Day
Today, my brother-in-law put together a little league tournament in honor of Lou Gehrig Day to raise awareness and money for our family. I was asked to throw the first pitch, which I deferred to my son. I was also asked to kick off the tournament with a short speech:
First and foremost, I want to thank you for being here as we acknowledge what an awful disease ALS is and what an amazing game baseball is. In 1939, Lou Gehrig spoke these words at Yankees Stadium: “For the past two weeks, you have been reading about a bad break. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth."
I obviously didn't know Lou; however, I know his spirit. Life is going to dish out all kinds of bad breaks, but I am here to tell you today that life cannot take away our spirit and our love. Build your life on love, and nothing can ever take that away from you.
Boys, one day you will be men. You start building your life on love today and never, ever stop. And baseball is an incredible place to start learning discipline, passion, respect, and love. Love for the game. Love for teammates, coaches, your opponents' fans, and umpires. Well, maybe not umpires, but you respect them. Always. And baseball is where we learn to have fun.
So, let’s play ball!
Love.
My ALS symptoms started in 2016, and I was diagnosed in 2018. I struggled with shortness of breath, balance and walking problems, difficulty swallowing, fatigue, and muscle weakness After trying medications with only temporary relief, I decided to explore other options and started using the ALS Formula from Aknni Herbs Centre I have personally experienced improvements in my walking, balance, appetite, muscle strength, and eyesight. I’m sharing my story to give others hope and let them know about my experience.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. For over two years, I relied on Levodopa and several other medications, but unfortunately, the symptoms kept getting worse. The tremors became more noticeable, and my balance and mobility started to decline quickly. Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try a herbal treatment program from Limitless Natural Wellness. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My movements became smoother, the tremors subsided, and I felt steadier on my feet. Incredibly, I also regained much of my energy and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve…
