In this second part of my chat with 33-year-old widow Melanie Lang, we talk about her & her husband Tyler’s biggest miracle, their daughter.   Tyler only spent 6 weeks with his precious baby girl before he died of ALS at a young 33.

Melanie’s perspective & big heart shines through as she talks about using their platform “Don’t Waste A Day” to help other families in Tyler’s memory.  Her family will be raising funds to send ALS families on vacations that they wouldn’t experience otherwise.

Welcome to "I'm Dying to Tell You," where we shine a light on resilience and hope.  In this special episode, we’re celebrating six years of I AM ALS, an organization created for patients, by patients.

Why is this so important? Because for far too long, those most impacted by ALS weren’t leading the charge in our collective mission for a cure. But I AM ALS changed the game. By putting patients at the forefront, they are not only better equipped to serve the ALS community, but we’re operating on the ALS clock—pushing for accelerated progress every single day.

Today, I’m thrilled to chat with four incredible volunteers, Tim Abeska, Randy Gregory Jr., Cristy Hardin & Deb Winters about how I AM ALS continues to be driven by patient voices, advocating, empowering, and fighting to make ALS a thing of the past. We'll dive into the work of the I AM ALS Community Teams, their ongoing efforts, and how YOU can get involved in this powerful movement.

So, listen in and be inspired to join these teams of patients, caregivers, and advocates who prove that the impossible is possible—every single day.  Thank you for sharing this celebration.  Hugs, Lorri

Janice Davis was like most of us and having a difficult time when this quarantine season began.   After a friend came by and surprised her with flowers and a hug,  she got the idea to pay that kindness forward and in a big way.  Janice formed an altruistic Facebook group, the Sisterhood of the Traveling Wine which is over 76,000 members strong.  Despite the name, it's not all about wine.  The group is dedicated to spreadling love and showing kindness in a unique way.  The Sisterhood of the Traveling Wine group is finding joy in blessing others in the community.   Tune in and hear more.

This episode was created by YOU, the listener.  Listeners sent in questions and I answer as many as possible in 30 minutes.  I'm so grateful for all the questions that came in, some light and fun - some deep and serious, some that really made me reflect and others that made me cry.  I love that my listeners feel comfortable asking me anything.  This was such a special experience.  I hope you enjoy.
