'It Impacts Literally Everything that I Do': Woman Shares Journey with ALS
Friends and family are raising money for her care and accessibility needs as ALS limits daily tasks and awareness events are planned across the community.
- After nearly two years of tests, 27-year-old Hannah Broermann finally learned the cause of her body stiffness: ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting voluntary muscle movement.
- Just two years ago, Broermann and her husband, Logan Chowning, were celebrating their new marriage and home. The diagnosis forced them to adapt to a progressive condition that altered their future plans.
- Broermann continues serving others through her work with Meals on Wheels despite her diagnosis. She stated that ALS impacts everything she does, "from something as simple as brushing your teeth or putting on your shoes."
- Friends and family created "Hope for Hannah," a grassroots effort to help the couple navigate medical expenses and accessibility needs. The initiative even revived the Ice Bucket Challenge using an excavator and water.
- Next week, Broermann will throw a ceremonial first pitch at the Cincinnati Reds' Lou Gehrig Day celebration at Great American Ball Park to raise awareness. A benefit fundraiser is scheduled for July 18 at Badin High School.
