Laura & Akhil started a blog about living with health challenges.
While living in Dallas, Texas, Akhil was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 2000.
More information about MS is available here: http://www.nationalmssociety.org/index.aspx
Akhil was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease in 2011 while living in Ridgefield Washington. It is a small town 30 minutes north of Portland, Oregon.

ALS is a degerative disease that will eventually take Akhil to his "new adventure". Many people want to know how we are doing, how to help, health status, etc. To make it easy to communicate, we made this website to share all the pertinent info.
