My cousin, Eric von Schaumburg was diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, in June of 2013. After 4 years of treatments and trials nothing has cured the disease, only slightly slowing the symptoms. Thirty three years old and bound to a wheelchair and feeding tube only able to use his eyes to type, Eric continues to fight the good fight. Adopting the motto ‘Fight Like a Champion’ and the phrase ‘E-Strong’ everyone has supported Eric throughout his battle.
