Awesome stuff. Knowing what I know about Chris, he probably wants a do-over on that one though after all the bullseyes he was nailing while practicing with Cohen the other day!

Chris is an inspiration! I hope he continues to kick ALS's butt.

That's better than what I could do with my dominant hand.

That evokes so many emotions. ALS is a terrible disease and it is so tough to see a young family have to face that head on.

It’s so incredible what Chris is doing. I can’t even fathom it. His strength is so admirable. He has the Heart of a Lion. He knows the disease might take him, but he’s fighting for his kids, and everyone’s kids.

I really enjoy her twitter feed, blog and podcast. It's very real, and at times, very raw.

The Snow's are amazing people

I know a bit about what he's going through, I have a feeding tube and basically lost my voice recently. It’s not easy. For me every day is a battle not to give up and I'm glad Chris is also fighting, Go Chris Go!

I can not imagine what you or he is going thru. I was hit with Covid twice, and the second round with it knocked me out.

I am a shell of my former person.

I can be mean and bitter.

Guys like this allow me not to be mean and bitter.

It happened and move on. I will never be the man I was, they wont be either.

Yet their courage to move on is inspiring.
