BOSTON -- Once a standout Division I college baseball player, Pete Frates never got the chance to be a Major Leaguer. That changed on Monday, when the Red Sox signed the Beverly, Mass., native to a ceremonial contract before an Opening Day crowd of 37,203 at Fenway Park. Frates, a former team captain at nearby Boston College, was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2012. He has spent much of his time since working to raise awareness about the debilitating disease, which weakens muscles to the point where those who suffer from it cannot speak or walk.

To everyone who cares, you should not be "okay" , do something. Real life. Real facts. Real me - ALS : Beth Popa Castelvetere
Beth Popa Castelvetere : Forgive me if I offend anyone in any way. The outpouring of love and support I have received since my Trickett shed her earthly shell has been nothing short of amazing. Honestly, I am not "okay." I am not at "peace." Every second of every day I am reminded of my beautiful friend not being here. I have no distraction, I have no "go on." I am living every second with what took her away. A horrifying, gruesome hell. I won't be ”okay " I won't be at "peace." Complete bullshit. No one with a heart should be "okay" with any of this. PEOPLE THIS IS THE TIME TO DO SOMETHING. Now look at my picture.... Trickett Fewell Wendler, myself and another beautiful mother (who I am honored to call my friend) Jodi Oliver. I created an ALS moms private group last February. It is here I found the bond of true motherhood. Jodi is a part of this bond. Jodi is now coming to the end of her ALS journey. My heart has never known so much pain. My pain pales in comparison to the pain each of their children is facing, six children left without their mothers. This picture was less than a year ago. Now really I'm supposed to be "okay?" Unf**king acceptable. I think this picture speaks for itself. Jodi, I love you my thoughts are with you and your family. To everyone who cares, you should not be "okay" , do something. Real life. Real facts. Real me.
