Despite rapid decline and now relying on a voice-generating device, Johnson refuses to quit, participating in cutting-edge trials and pushing for awareness and research. His message? This disease can strike anyone, and his fight is fueled by love, identity, and the hope of more time with his family. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
