My photo is Me and MY Urn: I am One With My Transition

I am a 52 year-old woman dying from ALS (aka Lou Gehrig's Disease)a fatal neurodegenerative disease. Only 2% of all ALS cases are genetic-my family is unmercifully affected. I am an ALS Advocate, and a an LGBT activist. I'm also a columnist, blogger, and singer/songwriter. The ALS caused me to "retire" from being the Safety Director at The Davis Food Co-op.

I am currently planning/working on a documentary, screenplay,memoir about the "Cathy Speck" story. I'm also tossing around ideas for "Speck:The Musical"

I speak about death & dying, and LGBT rights, equal marriage rights at high schools, junior high schools, and City College, ALS Awareness and Fundraising Events. I'm nationally recognized for my ALS Advocacy.
