My time has come: CFL All-Star Tony Proudfoot on his battle with ALS: "The time has come," the Walrus said, "to talk of many things." Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass......Let's jump forward to the present day, December 2010. Well, I am still here, hanging by my finger nails while my toes are touching rock bottom and I can feel them getting a foothold. I am proud I have continued championing my goals. My family has been absolutely amazing and friends have been terrifically uplifting. ALS research support continues (please donate) and I have been toughing it out. My Alouettes kept me buoyed with their outstanding accomplishments.

I don't follow the CFL but what a heartbreaking story. Thanks for the dose of perspective.
