Jamie Barrow’s Inspirational Story of How He Keeps on Living with ALS
Jamie Barrow’s Inspirational Story of How He Keeps on Living with ALS:
Jamie Barrow is a former mountaineer, rock climber, and ice climber. He was diagnosed with ALS in 2018 and lives in the beautiful mountain state of Colorado.
Jamie shares that much of his climbing and mountaineering has translated to his ALS journey. As his progression is slow, it is much like mountaineering where it is not an adrenaline sport but a sport of tenacity and endurance. One must suffer great hardship to reach the summit. When times get tough, you must make a choice. You can choose to lay down and die or you can choose to keep walking.
