If you could cure ONE disease what would it be? Assignment
Many of us know friends and/or family with a disease or illness that is
life threatening. Your job is to become an expert about that disease (or a different one of your choice) and
write a post (AT YOUR BLOG SITE) that includes five or more facts about the disease and 1
or more things the reader could do to increase awareness, support a
cure, or help individuals afflicted with the disease. If you are having
trouble deciding which disease you would like to learn more about, talk to family and friends and look at kidshealth
for their comprehensive list. The post below is about ALS, a disease my
brother is living with. If I could cure ONE disease it would be ALS.
