Motor Neurone Disease (ALS)
Thank you, Loris, for this post. I share the ideas you have
put forth concerning Stephen Hawking. As for James Martin, I
have survived 15 years with ALS and have no secret except for
the power of thought. I have a friend, Keith Gossett, who has
survived 23 years with ALS. Keith and I both still walk
without aid and we still talk. He has the same power of
thought that I and all of us have. That power is the thoughts
we have about ourselves, others and the world about us. James,
here is the link to a story about Keith and me:
