“There was little known about ALS when my mom died 21 years ago. The diagnosis was made by an incredibly talented and сonscientious specialist. Since then the disease has not become less tough, and the cure remains elusive. Yet now lots of people, both doctors and volunteers, are struggling with this serious illness, helping the patients and their relatives to alleviate the suffering, to build a decent life despite the most difficult circumstances. The Live Now Foundation plays here a crucial if not the main role”
