"A year ago my dad was at a baseball practice and he could not catch a baseball. We did not know what was happening to him. At first his left arm was now working. He could not grab. It has got in to his right arm. It was not working that well. His left leg could not really walk on it and a bit in right leg. It's not as strong as usual. A year later we found out what it was happening. My dad hase A.L.S.! A.L.S. is a disease that stops your motor neurons from working. CWich are things that make your body work. Now my dad is using a walker and he is geting an electric wheelchair soon. (I get to drive it.) My dad can't do a lot any more. He can't do anything physical and I can't play with him so...that is affecting me a lot. This is my challenge."
