    Dear Ted
    Thank you for your courage in sharing your journey with ALS. This will help to increase awareness and will support others living with, and affected by ALS.

    Thank you for this. Circumstances kept me from having the opportunity to really hear from Ted first hand as he has gone through these last 2 years. During countless airline delays, long drives, and to many meals I learned so much about Ted but mostly to never be surprised about an experience he had or tidbit he knows or his sage advice. Being a coast away this podcast let’s me visit a dear friend, hear from him first hand and remember why he is my friend.

    Ted’s attitude and strength has always been a part of him. It was so good to hear his voice again — thank you so much for doing this podcast and I look forward to the next one. Being a co-worker with Ted for many years was always a pleasure.

    A great podcast, can’t wait to hear more. ALS was a distant illness to me until Ted’s revelation a couple of years ago. Hearing his and Robin’s voice sharing the diagnosis and day to day coping mechanisms is sad but meaningful. Thank you so much for sharing his story. Even in his weakest moments he still continues to share his all, teach us all, inspire us all, to dig deep and be the best that we can be. That’s Ted, by hook or by crook, class isn’t over yet.
