Still Fighting

My Journey with ALS

By: Lesley Krummel

ALS is a degenerative, always-fatal disease. The average life expectancy after diagnosis is two to five years. It will take away your ability to walk, talk, breathe, and swallow. You will slowly become paralyzed and be dependent on others. Well, that will hit you like a ton of bricks! After about a year and a half of having symptoms and seven months of testing, Lesley was diagnosed with this horrible, nasty, unrelenting disease. This canaEUR(tm)t be true! She had done the Ice Bucket Challenge just four short years ago for another woman her age in her small Southwest Iowa town. This canaEUR(tm)t be happening to her too. It is supposed to be such a rare disease. Soon after her testing had begun, she started a small, closed Facebook group to use as a form of support and a way to communicate with family and friends. But God had something else in mind for this page. Suddenly, LesleyaEUR(tm)s page was reaching so many, and GodaEUR(tm)s Word was being heard. This is a funny, heartwarming, tear-jerking, and honest look at the authoraEUR(tm)s everyday life with ALS. With God and her faith, she is navigating untraveled territory, finding clinical trials for new treatments for ALS. As long as she is able, she will participate in clinical trials to help further research. She has also become an advocate for ALS. We need to get the word out about ALS. We need to create funding to further research. We need to find a cure!

Fight Like a Girl

My Battle With ALS

By: Lesley Krummel

Fight Like a Girl: My Battle with ALS is a very moving collection of stories written during the author's trials and battles to find out what exactly was going on with her body. Things were changing, and no one could quite figure out why. During this frightening time in her life, one thing did change for the better""her relationship with God. It has become so much stronger. As a form of support for herself, she started a closed Facebook group of close friends and family. Lesley knew right away that she needed an army""a group of prayer warriors by her side. She began writing down her daily experiences during this time. Lesley, a healthy fifty-six-year-old woman, was now losing her strength and balance. She shares her good days and bad; her triumphs and losses. But to her surprise, her faith and strength have blessed those who read her stories. Friends would tell her that they looked forward to reading her frequent posts. Some are funny and silly, and others are very serious and downright frightening. But her faith is stronger than ever. God is working through her, reaching others with her writing. Lesley takes her daily experiences and turns them into glimpses of God. Simple things like a song on the radio, helping someone out that looks lost, and even going to a football game are all opportunities to hear God speak. We just need to listen. So join her on this life-changing journey. You will be moved and inspired.
