From the album: Bill's Silverado
Steve Gleason played for the New Orleans Saints from 2000 - 2008, and will always be remembered for his blocked punt on the night the New Orleans Superdome reopened for the first time after Hurricane Katrina. He was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) - commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease. Through Team Gleason, the organization that Steve, his family, and friends started, he is determined to generate public awareness for ALS, raise funding to empower those with ALS to live a rewarding life, and ultimately find a cure. Steve is determined to inspire others by continuing to pursue life adventures despite his diagnosis, and has challenged the worlds of technology and science to identify their most promising developments toward new treatments and a cure.
