I know nothing about this insidious disease other than the obvious devastion it inflicts on its victims. I was amazed to see that OJ Brigance and Steve Gleason are still alive after ALS diagnoses in 2007 and 2011 respectively. 

if it was beatable, mccmichael would have beat it

I think there are different types, that progress at different rates.

The induction ceremony was a pretty tough watch. Mongo is in really bad shape. I hope he’s not in pain and at peace.

Complete ceremony at Steve's home with comments from his sister.   Difficult to watch all at once.   Try to make it to the end at 3:18.     Luv you Mongo, you  will never be forgotten.

Progression is different for everyone, but there are also people who refuse to go to tube feeds and tracheostomy, or choose those treatments, but succumb to infection
