Jackson Strong’s life turned upside down on Jan. 31, 2020. That was when he found out that his dad had been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease.
He’ll always remember that morning when his then-56-year-old father took him and his sister, Katie, out to breakfast for a heart-to-heart talk.
Jackson found out that his dad had a disease, known also as ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, causing loss of muscle control, typically leading to paralysis.
But the conversation did not stop there. Jackson’s dad, John Strong, said, “We got now.”
