A few years ago now, Ed Dobson came to visit us at Flannel. He had an idea for a series of short films that discussed his journey since being diagnosed with ALS. The meeting was somewhat surreal for me. A few years before meeting Ed, I was diagnosed with Leukemia. Sometimes in life, an event comes along that forever changes your perspective on things. Ed has an expression he uses: "All of our days are numbered, it just doesn't mean anything until you hear the number."
Ed is right. Unfortunately, most of us forget about our own mortality. We tend to worry about the things that don't really matter and forget about the things that do matter! When you "hear your number" everything changes. Ed has a perspective on life that is sharpened by his own circumstances. Ed's perspective is one that all of us can benefit from. Ed's Story is a story of hope.
Please watch this first short film in our new series with Ed. If it speaks to you, please pass it along to a friend. Help us spread some hope.
