We are a society that is now connected through Facebook, Twitter and other media sites, which can be accessed through phones, computers, tablets, and other devices. It’s a part of our world, and many people with ALS want to remain connected and may want to share their journey with others and find other people with this diagnosis for friendship and support...........
This is completely true. Social media is an amazing tool not only for raising money and awareness, but to provide support and share your struggles so other people can relate and not feel so alone. There are cases actually where people with diseases met over social media and one day came together because of the make a wish foundation. That's just another great example of the wonderful effects social media does have in our world today.

Last year, over a period of three months, a research team at UCLA put Dorsett and three other former NFL players through a battery of tests and brain scans. In November, they released their findings: the four players were diagnosed with signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, a degenerative brain condition. Some researchers have linked CTE—which they believe is caused by repeated head trauma—to dementia and depression.
