Former Saints Player and ALS Advocate Remains a Beacon of Hope
By [Your Name]
In 2006, former New Orleans Saints safety Steve Gleason made an unforgettable block that helped propel the team to victory in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Today, Gleason is still going strong at age 44, despite retiring from the NFL in 2008 due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
In the years since his retirement, Gleason has become an advocate and fundraiser for ALS, raising millions of dollars for research and support services. He has also founded Team Gleason, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people with ALS.
Gleason's journey has been chronicled in his new memoir, "Still Going Strong," which was published on July 12, 2024. In the book, Gleason shares his thoughts on life, love, and the challenges of living with ALS.
Despite his diagnosis, Gleason remains optimistic and determined to make a difference. He is an inspiration to millions around the world, and his story is a testament to the human spirit.
