Live from Las Vegas, Id like to thank Marisa DiDino for the nomination. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as Lou Gehrigs Disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. The body has many kinds of nerves. There are those involved in the process of thinking, memory, and of detecting sensations (such as hot/cold, sharp/dull), and others for vision, hearing, and other bodily functions. The nerves that are affected when you have ALS are the motor neurons that provide voluntary movements and muscle power. Although the cause of ALS is not completely understood, the recent years have brought a wealth of new scientific understanding regarding the physiology of this disease. I would like to nominate Joyani Ghosh, Ben Spensieri, and Cuc Koo Clock. You guys have 24 hours, love you goodluck Please help support this cause by visiting: web.alsa.org/site/DocServer/Offline_Donation_Form_National_2014.pdf?docID=114162
