1. Kevin Solomon:

   It sparked an idea in my head that we should make this like the ALS ice bucket challenge.

2. Catherine Lomen-Hoerth:

   Treatments work best when given prior to symptoms starting or at the very start of symptom onset. This is something not possible with sporadic ALS because it takes time to establish a diagnosis, and by then, the symptoms can be quite advanced, while this treatment would only affect 2% of ALS patients, it may be much more impactful than other treatments for ALS, since it can be administered much earlier in the disease process -- perhaps even before a patient develops symptoms.

3. Jaime Imitola:

   We must help educate our patients not only in the clinic setting, but also by working with patient advocacy groups such as the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the ALS Association, we all want to end the plight of our patients, and the challenges brought about by stem cell tourism are an opportunity for medical societies such as the American Academy of Neurology and the American Neurological Association to advocate against unsafe and unproven practices, and to end the exploitation of therapeutic hope.

4. Gong Xunhui:

   I want to use my personal experience to tell other ALS patients that, although we suffer from this incurable disease, there is still much we can do to enrich our lives.

5. Paula Grisanti:
