Steve began creating videos for his future son and raised money for ALS patients as it became more difficult to bear the affects of the disease over time. The director wanted to show the viewers how ALS effects patients and their families. ]]> 2017-05-22 13:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/AdanSuarez/go6nyu3jscs1/wish/173144579 AdanSuarez https://padlet.com/AdanSuarez/go6nyu3jscs1/wish/173144825 I feel like the film did achieve its purpose. The director catches very emotional scenes that leave people hopeful. Cutting from hopeful to tragic scenes throughout the movie and showing everything very raw, interviews with the people involved in order to explain what was going through their minds throughout the whole thing, and including facts about health care and information about ALS, effectively brought awareness to the beauty and tragedy of living with ALS.]]> 2017-05-22 13:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/AdanSuarez/go6nyu3jscs1/wish/173144825 AdanSuarez https://padlet.com/AdanSuarez/go6nyu3jscs1/wish/173144996  After reading the reviews I agreed with the fact that Steve Gleason was a hero as a football player and still is a hero as an ALS patient and his family created Team Gleason to provide help for ALS patients. Healthcare should be a priority to help the people in need as shown in the documentary.  ]]> 2017-05-22 13:45:16 UTC https://padlet.com/AdanSuarez/go6nyu3jscs1/wish/173144996 AdanSuarez https://padlet.com/AdanSuarez/go6nyu3jscs1/wish/173145064 Team Gleason is still having events and the most recent one is 8th annual Milan Scramble:]]> 2017-05-22 13:45:30 UTC https://padlet.com/AdanSuarez/go6nyu3jscs1/wish/173145064 AdanSuarez https://padlet.com/AdanSuarez/go6nyu3jscs1/wish/173199821 2017-05-22 17:01:06 UTC https://padlet.com/AdanSuarez/go6nyu3jscs1/wish/173199821
