Favor to ask: can you please retweet the tweet below so that the world can hear it and see a person with ALS. Some call me strong. I call myself lucky. I have had time that most ALS patients don’t get. Let’s change that, together.
Tonight, thanks to John Costello and his amazing team, I played my synthetic voice for my family for the first time. My daughters asked it was. My wife replied, that was the way daddy’s voice used to sound. I just listened and held back tears. Good night moon.

My thanks to yet another reprehensible coward who used a national platform this morning to mock stuttering -- *stuttering*. He inspired me to donate to @ASHAWeb, just one of the great organizations helping families and children with the challenge, and the pain, of stuttering. 👊
