Great quote from Elizabeth Edwards: "Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you’ve lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that’s good."

I have huge admiration for Ady and his family. Ady was possibly the most selfless person I've ever had the privilege of knowing. His altruistic efforts have had a massive impact on many, many people. Forever thank you, Ady and Rachael.
Hi all, this is Ady’s wife, Rachael. I’m devastated to share the news that Ady has died from complications of ALS. You probably knew Ady as a healthcare activist. But more importantly he was a wonderful dad and my life partner for 18 years. [1/4]

Worrisome study whose findings indicate that encephalopathies associated with COVID-19 could disrupt the blood brain barrier. Many implications - such as residual CNS vulnerability leading to to degenerative neurological conditions like ALS/MND.
