I plan to be around for a while, but living with a terminal disease, I have made sure I am leaving behind items for my daughter to remember me. Going through old photos makes me smile, cry and wish I could turn the clock back, even briefly. #EndALS
Fascinating development in ALS research: Canadian-made 🇨🇦 helmet could revolutionize how the disease is treated. Way to go, @Sunnybrook!

To mark Hospice Palliative Care Week, a special thank you to the team @HospiceNiagara for all they do for our community. They have been so amazing in supporting my family and me in our journey with ALS, with care and compassion.
Seeing the trees blossom and hearing birds chirping make me incredibly happy. Sometimes it's the simplest things in life that bring the greatest joy.
Not today ALS. Definitely not today.

Meet Melissa, our Community Lead with @ALSCanada. She has supported us throughout our nearly six-year journey with the disease, providing essential equipment, connecting us with resources, and taking action to resolve crisis situations. (1/3)
Melissa is a true superhero who I'm also privileged to call a friend. @ALSCanada does so much to support people living with the disease. That is why my family and friends are participating in the Walk to End ALS. (2/3)
I would appreciate you please consider supporting the walk and this wonderful organization. And much love to everyone who has already generously donated. All of the details are available here: alscanadawalktoendals.als.ca…

Should the Conservatives keep Pollievre as leader? He led the party to significant gains last night. But he also blew a 25-point lead in the polls three months ago and lost his seat.
4%They will keep him
78%Turf him
19%Too soon to tell
27 votes • Final resultsWhatever the outcome of today's federal election, please don't blame media. It is a tired, lame and ignorant excuse for what happens in an election. The parties can look in the mirror for who's to blame or pat on the back. I wish the winner the best in leading Canada. #cdnpoli
Out of respect for the tragedy in Vancouver, should federal party leaders be holding political rallies today? Seems insensitive to me to hold a partisan event.
My goodness the number of questions coming from conspiracy theorists claiming to be media at the post-leaders' debate news conference is shocking. Who selected these people?

This is about as Canadian as it gets: A hockey game impacts the timing of a federal leaders' debate. Lord Stanley reigns supreme in the true north strong and free.

All political parties try to control media covering election campaigns. But if you can't handle more than 4 media questions a day and refuse follow-up queries, how will you deal with the pressures of being prime minister?
My daughter is captaining our team in the @ALSCanada Walk to End ALS. And she has a cool idea for the team that has @BuffaloBills theme. Details are in the link below. I appreciate you considering supporting this important cause: alscanadawalktoendals.als.ca…

On the most difficult days, I am reminded of the amazing care team supporting me at home. My sunshine on a cloudy day.
#EndALS
Been a tough go recently in the ALS battle. I share the good and bad to shine a light on the disease. Get knocked down, get back up. And never give up. Never.
I appreciate the support on this platform. Blessings.

This is phenomenal news for people living with an ultra-rare form of ALS. My form of the disease is different, but I'm beyond ecstatic this drug is now approved in Canada, and is giving people the hope of living a long life. #EndALS

From the frontlines to behind-the-scenes support, their impact is felt in every corner of our organization: ow.ly/1ZEr50VcMih
A heartfelt thank you to the palliative care teams @NiagaraEMS and @SEHealth_SEHC for helping me avoid a hospital visit yesterday. Care at home is essential for quality of life. Healthcare super heroes save the day again.

I'm bed bound, mostly paralyzed, can no longer breathe on my own and I can't speak. But I still found a way to vote in the Ontario election. Please vote today, it's a cherished right in a democracy. #OntarioVotes2025
Hats off to Team Canada for a great victory last night. And kudos to Canada's 11th province (US eh) for a strong showing. Though I am surprised their congressman Trump hasn't declared that the game was rigged. #GloriousAndFree #4Nations
