This is the
inspiring story of an Ontario woman's personal and public crusade against ALS.
The one hour documentary captures the passion of Elizabeth Grandbois, a person
living with ALS and the organizer of a yearly benefit concert to raise funds
and awareness for this devastating disease. She was diagnosed with ALS in 1997
and has vowed to spend the rest of her life helping to accelerate the search
for a cure and to improve the quality of life for others who suffer from the
disease.
ALS is a
progressive and fatal neuromuscular disease that two to three Canadians die
from daily; People who suffer from ALS are often completely aware of what is
happening to their bodies, as the disease does not usually impact the senses
and the mind may remain unaffected.
Approximately 3,000 Canadians currently live with ALS. There is no cure for
this devastating disease; research is the only hope.
