Thinking about BG getting that disease just makes me so sad. I don't know why bad things like that happen to good people.

Yea my mother has it, very advanced. It is crushing to watch, and there is nothing you can do but give them support.

Because Good people don't shy away from doing the right thing, in BGrant's case it's bringing awareness and fund-raising to the disease. He could easily be sitting on a boat in the Caribbean out of sight but instead he is taking this thing head on and in the spot light. A true inspiration and leader.

"I finally decided, 'I need to get in front of this.' Maybe there's somebody who is in their 20s and has young onset and is scared. We're all going through this together. I'm just stepping into it. But now I'm ready to step into it. This has given me a purpose."
