Katelyn Grammes: ALS

Katelyn did her presentation on Steve Gleason who is a previous NFL player who now has ALS.  ALS, or amyotrophic laterals sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.  There are two different types of ALS, sporadic and familial.

His story was so inspirational, not...
