A captain of the Cal Berkeley football team, professional football player for the St. Louis Rams, and now a Los Angeles City firefighter, Eric was getting married to the woman of his dreams, Amanda. They were excited to start a family and their new life together with their dog Duke. But exactly one month after their wedding day, Eric was diagnosed with ALS at the age of 29. The diagnosis and subsequent education they received about the horrific disease was the worst news one could ever imagine.
Given his strong determination and success in anything he puts his mind to, Eric has chosen to fight and advocate for getting drugs and treatments available to patients NOW. Eric's goal with the help of his family and friends, is to raise awareness for ALS and act now toward getting treatments available.
