Lou Gehrig's "Luckiest Man"
A closer look reveals this illustration is handwritten with Gehrig's famous "Luckiest Man" speech, where he announced his retirement from baseball due to ALS, later named Lou Gehrig's disease. A portion of proceeds from all Lou Gehrig sales benefits the Lou Gehrig Society and Project Main Street.
**Fun Fact** The original Lou Gehrig word art was purchased by Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum in NYC's Times Square!

“My spouse began taking Riluzole without skipping any doses after receiving an ALS diagnosis in August 2021. To ensure that Riluzole is taken on time, we set the timing at 7:00 a.m. and 19:00 p.m. Before choosing to test other medications, we noted that breathing problems, trouble pronouncing words, and feeding challenges had gotten worse after using this prescription for two years. We chose to attempt the ALS/MND program after learning about it from our primary care physician last year. My husband has benefited greatly from it. About four months after receiving ALS treatment at uinehealthcentre. com, he no longer uses a feeding tube, sleeps soundly, works out frequently, and has become very active. Although it doesn’t cure his ALS, it has improved his quality of life.
I sent a previous message: Could you do a picture of my son and words of his history in baseball ??
