The average Life Expectancy for someone with als is two tofive years, b ut this afternoon i spoke with a man whos been battling the disease for more than a decade. When someone is diagnosed with lou gehrigs disease, the fight usually doesnt last long. But als has found one its strongest challengers in matt chaney. The 56yearold has been living with the illness for the last 16years. And hes learned to adapt. The symptoms first showed up when he lost strength in his right hand. And the loss of function eventually spread to the rest of his upper body. Bound to a wheelchair, he relies heavily on the remaining use of his feet. Using his toes to type on an ipad. The same ipad where he read about Dwight Clarks diagnosis. Through his caregiver, chaney communicates. The difficult struggle of living with als. It has been the greatest challenge of his life.
