Sunday marks four years since I was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. This picture was taken the next day when I returned to work, and life.

We’ve done a lot in 4 years, met lots of people, built a powerful force called SunnyStrong, and celebrated many victories while mourning many losses. ALS sucks, and we can all agree on that fact. I’m just trying to do everything I can to fight back against this disease, while living and loving this life I’ve been blessed with.

 Celebrate with me today: drink a Dr. Pepper, eat the ice cream, take a goofy picture with someone you love. Today I chose to celebrate my diagnosis.
