- Jon Ferraiolo has seen a linear decline in his motor neuron functioning since he was diagnosed with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) in 2014, but the Palo Alto resident and his wife, Karen Kang, have decided to transcend the disease as best they can. Video by Veronica Weber, Weekly staff photographer/videographer.
I love this man! His wife and his girl's are so blessed to have him and him have you all!!
Yes, the people are wonderful with one another, but I couldn't help loving the way that their dog was right by their sides and on their laps throughout the video. Such love all around. 🥰🐾
Thank you Karen and Jon for sharing your journey with ALS. It is with tears in my eyes and tremendous joy in my heart that I just finished watching your story. What a beautiful family - I am honored to know you.
Jon seems amazing with an equally amazing wife.
I love his sense of humor, courage and his smile. 🙂
What a wonderful man. So glad he has a family that loves him so much.
John...you are gaining a lot of admirers! You are happy in your marriage and family and that is so so obvious. I wish you the very best, and Karen will make sure you are given the very best. Karen made a very good choice when she married you. You and Karen have something quite special.
Such an amazing family. It’s an awful disease but it’s so lovely to see how strong and in love they are. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2012, at the time I grieved for the loss of my good health, I worried constantly about the future. My MS nurse really taught me about living for the day with the words “all any of us have is today, tomorrow is not promised “.
An inspiring story whether you know this couple or not. I know them and love them, and am more moved than I can say. I hope I can face the difficulties sure to come as I get older even half as well as Karen and Jon are facing theirs.
What a wonderful family. His smile is awsome. My 23yr old daughter was recently diagnosed with ALS. It's a hard thing for her to except well for anyone. May God bless.
23 years old?
Very young for this disease.
sincerely my dad was diagnosed with ALS early this year march to be precisely, and was so confused because I love my dad and wouldn't want to lose him so soon so I decided to look possible solution to ride of this ALS despite knowing it has no cure advised by the medical doctor. Everyday my dad's health depreciate keep losing weight and strength a friend advised me to try DR OKOLO ALS herbal formula that she use to cure her dad's heart disease and I was reluctant about it until after a second thought I decided to give a try because no harm in trying immediately I contacted him he assure me my dad will be cured within few weeks of medication and he sent me the medicine and I applied it on my dad as advised by DR OKOLO within 6weeks of using the herbal formula my dad was cured and my dad is free from ALS I went to the hospital that said there is no cure to ALS and informed them about my dad's healing and they were surprised you can contact DR OKOLO via email drokolosolutioncenter@gmail.com via WhatsApp+23407031895935 he also cured diseases like
HIV/AIDS
HERPES
CANCER
DIABETES
etc......
The cause/cure needs to be found. What do all people who have this condition have in common! All information should be pooled, surely! There are a number of possibilities: 1. iron overload - supplements can cause problems in people who don't do well on extra iron; cod liver oil can raise ferritin levels (iron storage) dangerously high which can lead to infections (I have article/comment that describes a first-hand experience with CLO culminating in infections and hospitalization). All supplements especially oils and fat-soluble vitamins should be used sparingly and with caution (watch out for side effects).
2. So many people with this condition were super fit at some point; does overheating the brain through chronic exercise perhaps cause damage to a certain part of the brain?
3. As mentioned in point 2, do certain drugs, antibiotics and any unknown factor (energy drinks perhaps) overheat the body/brain causing damage in susceptible (for whatever reason) people.
There has to be an answer lurking somewhere!
Did he said that its easier for him than for her??? What a man... incredible actitude... I guess that strenght comes from his wife also and for their relationship but I wish I could have that mindset....
It's a man thinking like a man. What he was taught. All respect to this amazing man. But man don't realize women usually take alot of pain and hurt bc they are more use to it and taught too.
What an awesome, gracious couple. And I love his sense of humor. God bless them.
Absolutely beautiful! Life is truly about living and not just existing.
He still manages to smile even in this terrible situation.. He's soo painfully handsome. Yes we don't live to die. We live to live. That's how it's supposed to be. God bless this family tremendously
Couples could live 100 years and not share the bond you have. Im so
sorry
Beautiful inspiring couple. God bless you both and your precious family.
His wife is blesses to be able to afford caregivers. My husband had Parkinson's Disease and I did it all.
It's a long, exhausting haul.
John seems very happy. May god bless you sir
He had such a good heart, thinking of others and his family before himself ❤😢
44 yrs and their love still shine. Just look at her laughter. Amazing! This is what marriage supposed to be.. Til death do them part.
In sickness and in health Till death do us part
You’re such a beautiful family , blessed to have each other and I love your love story ❤️
That's my same story...my husband died in 2013
This is beautiful-thanks so much for sharing.
My husband lived and died with ALS. With dignity.
He is blessed to have her as his wife
She is such a wonderful lady
You are a wonderful couple I am so moved but happy. John's smile he lights up the room. Your love for each other is just so beautiful. Your wife daughters they love and adore you. Family life still go's on and you are a big part of this John thankyou and god bless x 💖
God Bless you both. It’s beautiful and so uplifting to see and hear your courage and strength through your struggles. You both have touched me and given so much hope to people. God has a plan for you and your family. When the time comes to meet your Creator, your body will be perfect.
They don’t look 60. The lady looks about 54. She’s a truly lovely person. He is lucky to have her.
My best friend died with ALS. I told God if I had a choice of cancer or ALS... GIVE ME CANCER PLEASE.
Nice video. Very positive and uplifting ❤
Such a very brave person.
God bless them both. Karen looks like my mom. My mother is Korean and I am half Korean and half black. My mom had a heart transplant last January. Life is short but also precious. Enjoy each day while we have it.

What a beautiful couple ❤love and prayers to you both ❤️ 🙏
What a lovely couple.
A true love story.👍💞
Lost my father nov 14, 2020 after about 3 or 4 yrs, I have trouble remembering how long because there was 1 whole yr without a diagnosis, so I'm guessing between 3-4 yrs, horrible disease, he choose no life prolonging measures, besides a feeding tube, it was sad seeing him struggle to breath near the end. He went home on hospice after a week long stay in the hospital beginning on labor day.
This is a great story, but unfortunatly not all ALS patients are as lucky. Most lose friends and family. Many have no help other than husbands, wives or their children and many are even in nursing homes due to no one at all to care for them. Most also can not get all the helpful tech, gadgets or equipment needed to deal with this horrid disease. Many end up in nursing home because they can not get help with home modifications needed to stay in their home. I love that they are sharing these stories to bring light to ALS, but how about showing the ones who lose more than their limbs!!
Good Boyer lift demo
Wow just out of nowhere that’s the worst part from 0-100 quick that sad and scary
Amazing family.
God Bless them 🙏🙏
