National Family Caregivers Month: A Time to Honor Those Who Make a Difference |
|
By Gary Wosk, Staff Writer
During National Family Caregivers Month in November and throughout the year, The ALS Association recognizes the most important resource in the lives of people living with ALS are their spouses, children and friends who love them the most.
Resources as precious as these also need to be treated with tender loving care or they too can become ill and at the very least exhausted.
“They are there day and night for their husbands and wives, moms and dads and best friends and we at The ALS Association need to be there for them,” said Gary A. Leo, the president and CEO of The Association.
One of the toughest jobs in the world is taking care of someone with a disease such as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, an around-the-clock responsibility that often exacts a steep emotional and physical toll on these dedicated men, women and children whose lives have suddenly been turned upside down.
