Dan the Man
"A journey is best measured in friends, rather than in miles."
Starting last June of 2023, Dan began developing unusual symptoms, some that mirrored other illnesses, until clearly some of these issues were more neurological in nature, he received a definitive diagnosis of Bulbar ALS in May 2024.
Dan is first and foremost, a son, brother, husband, uncle, brother-in-law, friend, financial advisor, hiker, fisherman and known for having been a stellar cross country and track mile runner.
Dan is also known for his amazing smile, that reaches ear to ear.
As his family, he is teaching us about resilence, strength and love with someone living with ALS.
After speaking to Dan, in regards to his wishes, knowing he is living with ALS, it is important to him that money is raised to find a cure to DEFEAT it.
