Jim's Story
In 2014, Jim’s son Matt was diagnosed with a rare form of ALS, not normally found in young adults. Matt and his family connected with Ron early on and received support from CCALS throughout their ALS journey.
In the face of such a devastating diagnosis, Matt lived his life fully, actively and vibrantly. He was a fan of the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics and, most fervently, the Bruins. He loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting and off-roading. Music was a particular passion; Matt was a frequent concert-goer. Most of all, Matt reveled in the company of family and friends. During his last year, he realized a life-long dream and traveled widely throughout Europe. Matt was an inspiration to all.
Since Matt’s passing, Jim has continued to support the work of our organization, acting as President of the CCALS Board and participating in fundraising events. Every year, he has run the Falmouth Road Race, pushing a person living with ALS in the special race wheelchair which CCALS initially designed for Matt.
