Lauren Sankey is a co-producer of Sickboy, a health-related comedy CBC Podcast about living with illness and has told us that they have just released an episode with Captain Deane Gorsline, who has ALS. (See CMEA News Item Captain Deane Gorsline's Virtual Walk to End ALS)
Alternately hilarious and poignant, Capt Gorsline informed us that ALS is more prominent in the military, but that the Canadian Forces provides excellent benefits to its members living with the illness. Capt Gorsline also spoke highly of the military community that has supported him and his wife, saying it was the brightest silver lining of his situation. You can find the Podcast on iTunes:

The CMEA is grateful to the producers of Sickboy for bringing this to our attention.
