"Thank you for a traumatically sad, gripping, funny,
poignant, dramatic and yet somehow uplifting story.
It is the only thing I have ever seen that captures the
desperation and inspiration effectively and somewhat
in equal measure.
Your work has profound meaning and I am simply
one grateful beneficiary."
-- Jennifer Hayes (ALS family survivor)
