As I previously stated, people with Ataxia cannot jump or leap forward. A week ago, I also could not do this. This week I am jumping forward hands free for the first time in a long time. One leap for man, one giant leap for mankind.
The Romanian lady next door asked me to help translate from french to english for the Chinese doctors. With my Ataxia, I discovered my english voice is hard to understand and gets no better in french. The response from both the english and the french speakers was the same….”huh”?? – Al
The bravery and resolve of the patients defies description. Our english patient’s wife (he has advanced ALS) is something to behold. She said to me “you don’t give in, you carry on until the fat lady sings and she is not singing yet”. How admirable. – Joanne

Thank you for your insights into the possibilities of stemcell treatments. Again, you are among pioneers and hearing how you see your own challenges and sucesses is thought provoking and inspiring. You are showing us all ,who are not with you in China, how to step up to a new way of living in life.
