Now We're Talking!

Ahhhh... the provocative story in the New York Times is now provoking conversation, and that's good because ALS gets so little attention.

Interesting points. Let's talk about ALS in the media. Let's talk about head trauma and triggers. Let's get our sports-crazed nation talking about a disease that is full of mysteries yet steals the most fit and talented among us.

And while we talk about the merits and weaknesses of the New York Times story, let's talk about the need for more ALS research. Let's talk about the need to retain data so that the clues are no lost. We need our ALS Registry now! Let's talk about ALS and the military. Let's keep talking!
