When Michael Bereman learned he had #ALS, he had just started his dream job at @NCStateSciences. Now he's committed to helping find a cure. https://t.co/yoTUtqSb6j #CampaignNCState https://t.co/DdnjVBKZcu

Good article about a good man doing good work at good old NCSU.

Bereman continues to press onward, realizing that his work probably will not yield a cure in time to save his own life. But knowing that he's playing a part in eradicating ALS for future generations keeps him going. And he continues to teach, helping prepare the scientists of tomorrow to take up the fight.

"Sometimes it's tough, and sometimes I get down," Bereman said. "But I just try to refocus in on the problem at hand.
"It's a type of therapy, and the idea that I could be making a huge difference is very rewarding to me."

If there was a 'disease cruelty RPI', ALS would consistently be ranked near the top.

Awful disease, hope Beremen and other brave souls and bright scientists all over the world can start getting a toehold.
