Greg Gowe

Two years ago , before the pandemic started, I was still making my way downtown to work as a lawyer at TELUS. Today, I'm almost fully immobilized, can't speak and type with my eyes. These are the cards I have been dealt. It's up to me to define what winning looks like.

Thank you @TELUS for lighting up Telus Garden and honouring my late husband, Greg Gowe. It was a special night for our family. #EndALS @ALSAction

Thank you to everyone for connecting with Greg’s final tweet. We feel so much love. What a gift Greg unknowingly gave his kids. In reading your comments, they couldn’t be more proud of their dad. We gave Greg a beautiful send off. ALS is now behind him, and he is at peace.

My fight with ALS has come to an end. Please don’t be sad. Life is beautiful. Live hard. Love those around you and come together to #EndALS.

When I was diagnosed with ALS I realized almost immediately that my "fight" was not going to be a fight to be healthy again. No, people with ALS were still having to fight to establish that our lives had value and were worth trying to save. We're still fighting this fight.

We are very fortunate to have Don as the chair of the board and involved in the #EndALS movemen. Join us / support us and let's find a cure for this terrible disease.

To my wife on your birthday. I celebrate everything about you and always will.

Thank you for all that have done for the ALS cause, Sandy. My condolences to your family. Your spirit is now free.

The ALS community in BC has been waiting patiently for @UBCmedicine to fill this role, which will allow clinical trials to take place and result in a desperately needed upgraded Clinic. It's been a year, UBC, (and arguably longer). It's time to wrap this up.

Thank you BC MLA, @TrevHal. Let's get loud about the need for an accelerated drug approval pathway, better access to more clinical trials and targeted research funding. #EndALS.

We need a strong ALS patient voice in Canada that will outlast individual patient advocates. That's why we started ALS Action Canada (@alsaction). We are now a non-profit with a board and part-time Executive Director. We need your support to keep growing.

We appreciate your ALS advocacy on social media and your behind the scenes work, BC MLA @shirleybond. We are hoping that another MLA or MP will join you, and then another, and another. We can't stop until people start surviving this disease.

It's been over 80 yrs since Lou Gehrig died. The disease has been neglected and underfunded for decades. We need to make up for all the lost time. @jyduclos @adriandix

Today marks 3 yrs, 3 mos since I was diagnosed with ALS. Since then, 3,250 more Canadians have received this diagnosis and 3,250 have died from ALS. I'm not okay with this. @jyduclos @adriandix

I don't understand why people with ALS have to fight so hard for an accelerated drug approval pathway. We need to start trying to save lives. @jyduclos @adriandix #EndALS

This diabolical disease has progressed to the point where it is dangerous for me to cry, as I now choke on my own secretions / mucus. We need to #EndALS. @jyduclos @adriandix

20 yrs ago this week I met my wife. In an elevator. A week later we went on our first date. Indian food in the West End. The rest is history. Being in a 20 yr relationship with my wife and having a family together has been the highlight of my life.
