Why It Matters

The Gift of Communication

O.J. "speaks" to Dave using his eye gaze machine. Once ALS robs someone of their ability to talk, this device allows them to communicate with family members and loved ones. With your support of this challenge, eye gaze machines may be provided to 100+ PALS and their families.
