May 15,2018 is the day that completely changed the direction of Lesley's life. She was a very active fifty-five-year-old woman and was not one to sit still. But that would soon change. Lesley was told she had two to five years to live, and she has proven them wrong. She has lived with ALS for almost eight years. In those eight years she has been an advocate and voice for all those battling ALS and continues to do so despite losing her speaking voice to this cruel disease. But Lesley has learned just how strong her faith really is, and that is something that ALS can't touch. You will feel her anger and frustration as she fights for the right to have access to a treatment that she could feel work in her body and doctors witnessed how it worked in her body. She is still waiting for the opportunity. She is still waiting for the approval of NurOwn. Lesley and her husband are continuing to adapt to her ever-changing needs. But their faith is strong and that is what they cling to. Lesley's is a truly inspiring story. After battling ALS for several years, she realized she was wasting precious time dying and not focusing on living. Maybe she was born for this? Maybe God is working through this trial to help her grow in her faith. He is refining her and is not finished yet. Come along on this unforgettable journeyof determination and courage.
