 About Me
Hi, I'm Heather. I was diagnosed with ALS in June 2006. I've been active my whole life...played lots of sports and even played collegiate volleyball. I'm now a high school teacher and volleyball coach. My wonderful husband is a lawyer and we have the best dog in the world. I was only 26 when my symptoms begans so ALS is the last thing we thought I had. It's been very difficult but I am determined to beat it!!
