Fighting ALS, Fueled by Faith

I’m Dave and I am a 55 year old midwesterner who lives in Henderson, Nevada! I was recently diagnosed with ALS and the purpose of my website is to bring my family and friends along with me on this journey, bring awareness to ALS via a real persons unfiltered story and to bring glory to God through this journey of faith. I would love to have you join me!

To begin with, I am not really sure I know what I am doing. I’ve never even thought of creating a website and just jumped into it with both feet. So I imagine I will learn as I go.

A little about me: First and most importantly I am a Christ follower. I have committed my life to Him and work to serve him in all that I do. I have an absolutely amazing Godly wife who I met as a high school sweetheart at age 15. She is my soulmate and constant companion. We have four incredible children that all follow Christ and are grown and starting their own stories. I have a wonderful and supportive extended family and church family that we cherish. I am in the process of retiring from the best work environment with the best people I can imagine.

I say all of this to say:

God is in control and is allowing ALS to be a part of my story FOR A REASON.

I am not a victim and have no reason to act as one.

I am blessed beyond measure in all aspects of life.

I have a part to play and will fight for quality of life and longevity.

I will be focused on loving people and making even more memories on this journey.

If that sounds like something you’re interested in keeping up with, then join in. I plan to update routinely with details on what we are doing to fight, love and create memories.
