Suzanne Alexander co-founded Live Like Lou along with her husband Neil Alexander upon his diagnosis with the fatal condition Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (“ALS”), commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. The couple’s time with the devastating disease was inspired by baseball hall of famer and “Iron Horse” Lou Gehrig, and the strength, courage, and gratitude he demonstrated with his own diagnosis in 1939. Following the example of the “Luckiest Man,” the Alexanders and hundreds of family and friends across Western Pennsylvania devoted their energy to a courageous journey of strength… to Leave ALS Better Than We Found It. In just five years, their grassroots effort helped establish the $10 million Live Like Lou Center for ALS Research at the University of Pittsburgh’s Brain Institute and raised funds to support ALS families/ALS research to find a treatment or a cure.
