Jan Rettig My son died of ALD in May of last year. He was 37. He died 6 months after being diagnosed. I would very much like to get in touch with her. thanks
Nina Thank you for sharing your courageous experience with us. I would like to know if Keiran can speak or if he is able to do anything with his mind?
