Former NFL Player Tim Green Has A New Opponent — ALS

"Tim Green first noticed the symptoms about five years ago."

"The former NFL player, whose strength was a job requirement, suddenly found his hands weren't strong enough to use a nail clipper. His words didn't come out as fast as he was thinking them."

"'I'm a strange guy,' Tim says. 'I get something in my head and I can just run with it. I was really afraid I had ALS. But there was enough doubt that I said 'alright, I don't. Let's not talk about it. Let's not do anything.'"

"Denying pain and injury had been a survival strategy in football."

"I was well trained in that verse," he says.
