Blair Casey is the Executive Director of the @teamgleason Foundation. Their main mission is to empower those with ALS by giving them purpose, independence, and technology to live their life to the fullest. Blair grew up in New Orleans, has 3 undergraduate degrees, 3 masters, and speaks multiple languages. When he got the message of Steve Gleason's diagnosis, his whole world changed. Blair has been a part of the Gleason Family Team for 11+ years helping with the foundation and being a true friend to Steve. There was so much covered in this episode and could've gone on for another hour. Steve Gleason's journey and what Blair has helped accomplish is remarkable. This foundation has brought tremendous awareness to ALS not only locally but globally as all.
