Dear ThinkOOB,

I recently read your blog’s post from January about fundraising for ALS through the sale of Lou Gehrig jerseys. Thank you for helping to create awareness for this debilitating disease through this post. Every bit of publicity helps.

I work with Cyber PR, a digital firm for artists. We are currently working with a 36 year old musician from East Lansing, Michigan named Ace whom was diagnosed with ALS three years ago. He has since defiantly pursued his lifelong passion of writing music with his band, Ace Noface. Ace has garnered rave reviews for both his songwriting technique and his refusal to give in to ALS.

Ace had to learn a whole new way of making music, using one finger, some computer software, and email. It was a daunting task, but Ace quickly found a benefit. He explains, “When I’m writing music or lyrics I completely get lost in it – I forget that I have any kind of disability.”

This optimism in the face of adversity has caught the attention of the media, from the Chicago Tribune to college radio. Ace was also recently one of 31 Americans with ALS who were selected throughout the United States to be featured in an online national awareness campaign by the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

We would be honored if you would consider taking a listen to Ace’s music and sharing it with the readers of your site.
