The Toole Family
Matt Toole has been courageously battling ALS since 2009 with the love and support of his wife, Karen and their two children, Regan and Paddy. "I can still talk, swallow and breathe," Toole said. "Faith is a big part of it."
As Matt continues to battle ALS, "I take every day as a gift “, but as the disease has progressed, everyday life has become increasingly difficult. "Right now I really can't do anything for myself so I need a lot of help. My wife Karen and the kids really provide a lot of support.” Matt has always kept a positive outlook, despite facing many extreme challenges – physically, emotionally and financially.
Update - Matt last his battle in April of 2022.

My first ALS symptom occurred in 2016, but was diagnosed in 2018. I had severe symptoms ranging from shortness of breath, balance problems, couldn't walk without a walker or a power chair, i had difficulty swallowing and fatiue. I was given medications which helped but only for a short burst of time, then I decided to try alternative measures and began on ALS Formula treatment from Aknni herbs centre, It has made a tremendous difference for me (Visit ww w. aknniherbscentre.c om). I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength, improved eyesight and others.
