"I think everyone can learn from this event. It's clear to me that, on a national and global scale, ALS is not understood, which is part of why (it's) under-funded and largely ignored. In the past 36 hours, lots of people have been talking. Let's talk about this ... there are zero treatments for ALS. If you take any action as a result of this event, I prefer it to be action to end ALS. See what we are doing to change that at www.teamgleason.org."
