Serious question..

It looks like Donna's days are numbered but Gleason is attending footballs games still. Does ALS just affect people differently? Or does Gleason have better access to help for it?

From what I understand of the disease, it does just that. For some people it’s much more aggressive than it is for others, much in the same way that other neurological and muscular diseases do.

it does, and some choose to go on a ventilator (gleason) and some choose to let the disease take its course (I do not know about Donna) being on a vent will generally add years to your life, but has lots of negatives as well. No right answer and hope I never have to make that decision, I respect everyone's decision that is in that situation
