Humberto

I learned today that another PLM-er "earned his wings." His name was Humberto, he lived in Brazil, he was a very active advocate for ALS awareness and worked hard on a lithium study. He was 42, had arm onset, first symptom in September 2006. He was diagnosed in March 2007. According to his profile, he was in a chair and used a feeding tube. His PLM avatar was multi-colored: orange head; red arms; green trunk; red legs.

I look at my weak hand and I am grateful.
