Shawn’s Story: Choosing Hope, Living Fully
At 57, Shawn lives in a small town in British Columbia’s northern Okanagan. He enjoys the beauty of the region and remains focused on living life to the fullest, despite an ALS diagnosis that arrived after a long and uncertain journey.
Shawn first noticed something was wrong in May 2022 when he developed a weak pinch grip in his left hand. What followed was more than a year of appointments, referrals, tests, and alternative explanations.
