We are all in this together.

Chris is my NFL brother, but more importantly, he is my fellow human. When ALS enters your life, it is a relentless tsunami. I want Chris and his family to know they are not alone. We are here for him.
 Every person living with ALS has a story, a family, a purpose, and a future that matters. Chris has spent his life showing strength, speed, and heart. Now he and everyone diagnosed with ALS deserve all of that strength, heart, and urgency returned to them.

Participant #1 right here. We’re going to figure out why athletes, veterans, and first responders get ALS at much higher rates, because we believe the answers could be in our own biology. Remote participation also removes barriers so we can move faster toward answers for all. #AwesomeAintEasy

Thanks, @iamalsorg. Clocked in for 14 years.

Growing up in Spokane Washington, I always get asked why I am a Cubs fan. Two reasons. WGN and Ryne Sandberg. As a kid, the Cubs were always on WGN. When I was maybe ten years old, I found out Sandberg, their superstar, was from Spokane. My homeboy! Locked. So, the Mariners and the Cubs were, and still are my teams. Both organizations have been amazing with our family and Team Gleason. We’ve thrown the first pitch in both stadiums. Enormously grateful. They’re both down a game, but through adversity, we find our heroes. Go Mariners. Go Cubs.

Greatness isn’t just measured in stats. @drewbrees, you're the greatest leader I've been around. Uniting teammates to be resilient when no one else believed, inspiring us to smile under pressure while doing extraordinary shit, and resurrecting a community. More than all of that, a dear friend. HOF? Duh... I love you brother.

Pretty monumental day, yesterday! Two doods who should be dead, went to the @Saints game. Together! Not dead, yet. Celebrating, and practicing to love the life we have. LOVE.

As patient participant #1 (I prefer #37), I’m challenging my fellow former athletes and those who served valiantly in the military to join us in finding answers to ALS. If you have ALS and want to participate, check out the post and link below. I’m looking at you, @timgreenbooks @OJBrigance @KerryGoode @stevens_nation @MattBellina

Every 90 minutes, someone in this country takes their last breath because of ALS. A few days ago, one of those was my friend and brother, Phil Green. Phil was voratious about life. He lived fully, loved deeply, and thought carefully about how he showed up for others. And show up, he did. His presence remains, and is within me. Love you, brother.

Every 90 minutes, someone in this country dies because of ALS. Recently, one of those was my friend Peter. His death is a poignant reminder to keep living with love. Peter’s work continues to fuel our efforts to end ALS. No white flags, brother. We'll keep working. I love you. You are love. SG legacy.com/us/obituaries/nam…

It was glorious to be back in my home state of Washington this week. Rivers threw the first pitch on MLB Lou Gehrig day. It felt so good to be with family and friends, and the Seattle weather was perfection. Thank you to the Mariners staff for your generosity and kindness! Great to meet you Brian Woo. And thanks to the team at Gates Ventures for your time and friendship. New Orleans is my home now, but my blood flows with the cool, clear Rivers, and majestic mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Love.
