Description:

Steve Gleason, once an accomplished defensive back for the New Orleans Saints, is hit by a devastating diagnosis at just 34 years old: ALS, with a life expectancy of merely two to five years. In a poignant twist of fate, Steve's wife Michel reveals she is expecting their first child. In the face of this challenging news, Gleason embarks on an emotional and inspiring journey, utilizing video journals as gifts for his unborn son. These entries soon transform into a testament to Steve's resilience; they chronicle his efforts to strengthen his relationships, establish a foundation to support fellow ALS patients, and navigate the physical decline brought about by his condition. Embracing cutting-edge medical technology, Gleason remains steadfast in his pursuit of living as fully as possible, creating an uplifting tale of love, determination, and hope amidst adversity.
