My fight against Lou Gehrig’s disease

January 2019. Leah Stavenhagen, 26, is about to join a big audit firm. She has just moved from New York to Paris with her fiancé, Hugo. The only cloud on the horizon: legs cramps disturbing her yoga practice. Leah cannot stop thinking about them as they start hampering her walking.

Many months will go by before doctors make their diagnosis: Lou Gehrig’s disease – also known as motor neurone disease (MND). Two years of life expectancy. Leah and her fiancé’s life is turned upside down. Spring 2020, while the whole word is quarantined, Leah can no longer walk. She needs to get used to her wheelchair. Her arms and legs are now affected.
But they decide to keep their chin up: parties, restaurants, trips - and get wed in Paris.
For 18 months, Leah has been treated in New York City with an experimental cure which she is the first to get. She keeps fighting against a disease she does not consider incurable; and, since the beginning of the cure, her disease stabilizes.
Leah Stavenhagen recounts her life and fight to go ahead: hope will never leave her!
