Watch satellite movie: “Pride of the Yankees” with Gary Cooper, Teresa
Wright, Babe Ruth & Walter Brennan. Based on a true story of Lou Gehrig,
who died from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease). ALS is
a progressive disease that begins with weakness, often in the hands, less
frequently in the feet. Weakness progresses though sensation remains
intact. Due to lack of proper stimulation from nerves, muscles weaken,
shrink, become spastic and completely paralyzed even though the muscles
themselves are normal. As well as peripheral muscles, those of speech,
swallowing, and breathing are involved and lead to death within 3 to 10
years.
