Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo showed his support for people battling Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) by wearing an “End ALS” T-shirt during a recent game. ALS is a progressive neurological disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, leading to the loss of muscle control and paralysis. The disease has no cure and is fatal within a few years of diagnosis.

Lovullo’s decision to wear the T-shirt was a personal one. His father, a former college baseball player, was diagnosed with ALS in 2015 and passed away from the disease in 2018. Lovullo has since become a vocal advocate for ALS awareness and research, and he has worked with organizations such as the ALS Association and Team Gleason to raise funds and support families affected by the disease.

The T-shirt that Lovullo wore features the words “End ALS” in bold lettering and was designed by Team Gleason, a non-profit organization founded by former New Orleans Saints player Steve Gleason, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2011. The organization’s mission is to improve the lives of people with ALS and their families, and to find a cure for the disease. Lovullo’s gesture of wearing the T-shirt helped to raise awareness for ALS and the work that Team Gleason is doing to support those affected by the disease. It also served as a powerful reminder of the importance of funding research to find a cure for ALS.
