Microsoft And ALS Share The Super Bowl Spotlight

2/2/2014

 
I am not a big fan of the game myself, but it's nice to know Microsoft's commercial is featuring an ALS patient, Former New Orleans Saints safety Steve Gleason. The video below is very touching, and gives a glimpse into his life after football. It truly is a great statement of how our lives can benefit from the use of technology. But my hope for this commercial is to be more of testimony for ALS and raise peoples awareness of this horrible disease.
Former New Orleans Saints safety Steve Gleason
Microsoft created this video (watch below) for its #empowering campaign showcasing how Gleason inspires others living with ALS and how he utilizes Microsoft Surface.
ALS has taken my father and my brother, I wish they had these tools available to them. Gleason, lost the use of his voice due to the disease, and now speaks through a synthetic voice on a computer connected to his wheelchair. He writes his words using his eyes. 

The commercial that will air during the Supper Bowl 48 will be a 60-second ad featuring Gleason and others using Microsoft products.
So, for this non-fan of the game and the event, I'll keep my hands on my coffee, and my eyes peeled for  this commercial and hope that people are enlightened a little more.
