ALS Episode on ER!

The February 2nd episode of ER, entitled “Body & Soul”, will be entirely devoted to a character with ALS.  James Woods, who plays the man with ALS, met with 6 individuals with ALS last December for a crash course in living with ALS.  For the full story, click here.

Also featured in the episode is Eye Response Technology, which allows people to communicate through eye movements via a a computer and voice synthesizer that can attach to a wheelchair. For more information click here.

This is the type of national exposure we need to make ALS as well known as Parkinson’s and MS.  Thank you to the ALS Association for their involvement to make sure they got it right!

‘ER’ airs Thursdays on NBC, at 9:00pm MST.
