MICHIGAN NATIVE AND U.S. VETERAN
MELISSA SIEBERT WAS DIAGNOSED
WITH ALS EARLY FEBRUARY AND THE
DISEASE PROGRESSES QUICKLY AND
SHE MADE A BUCKET LIST AND SHE’S
RAISED $8600 TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
THE JUNK--
JOURNEY FOCUSED IN DETROIT.
>> SHE MOVED AWAY, BUT SHE WAS
BORN IN DETROIT, RAISED IN ST.
CLAIR SHORE, A TRIP TO COMERICA
PARK TO SEE THE TIGERS AS WELL
AS A VISIT TO BELLE ISLE, BUT
IT’S NOT JUST THE BUCKET LIST,
BUT RAISING MONEY FOR RESEARCH
FOR ANYONE WHO HAS DIAGNOSED
WITH ALS.
>> TO HEAR THAT WHEN YOU’RE 41
YEARS OLD IS CRUSHING.
>> MELISSA SAID IT WAS AN
EMOTIONAL MOMENT NOT JUST FOR
HER.
>> THE NEUROLOGIST EVEN CRIED,
YOU KNOW, TELLING ME BECAUSE I
WAS THE FIFTH PERSON THAT HE HAD
DIAGNOSED IN 10 DAYS.
>> MELISSA SERVED IN AFGHANISTAN
AND WENT TO A VA HOSPITAL IN
VIRGINIA WHERE SHE LIVES, SO
THOSE FOUR OTHER PATIENTS WERE
VETERANS, TOO, DR. EVA FELDMAN
OF UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN IS A
PROFESSOR OF NEUROLOGY AND ALS
CENTER OF EXCELLENCE AND SAYS
IT’S THE REALITY OF THE DISEASE.
>> THE AVERAGE RISK IS SOMEWHERE
BETWEEN TWO AND THREE-FOLD
HIGHER IF YOU HAVE SERVED IN THE
MILITARY VERSUS IF YOU’VE NOT
SERVED IN THE MILITARY IN
DEVELOPING ALS.
STUDIES HAVE BEEN DONE AS TO
WHY.
>> THEY ARE EXPOSED TO
POLLUTANTS, TO AIR POLLUTION, TO
PESTICIDES, MORE THAN AN
INDIVIDUAL WHO’S NOT NECESSARILY
IN THE MILITARY.
AND WE BELIEVE THAT’S STRONGLY
DRIVING ALS RISK.
>> BUT FOR MELISSA, KNOWING
OTHER VETERANS ARE BATTLING THE
SAME DISEASE, DIDN’T MAKE
SHARING HER DIAGNOSIS WITH HER
WIFE KRISTIN, ANY EASIER.
>> WE HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN.
WE HAVE A FIVE-YEAR-OLD AND A
THREE-YEAR-OLD.
>> WEE!
>> IT’S DEVASTATING.
>> WHILE IT FEELS LIKE THE ODDS
ARE AGAINST THEM.
THEY HAVE HOPE AND THE PROGNOSIS
PROGNOSIS NO SIS FOR MOST PEOPLE
WITH ALS, 3 TO 5 YEARS, BUT 10%
OF PEOPLE THAT MAKE IT PAST 10
YEARS.
>> IN THE MEANTIME, THEY WANT TO
MAKE AS MANY MEMORIES AS
POSSIBLE.
MELISSA’S BUCKET LIST HAS A
USUAL DISNEY TRIP, BUT THEN
THERE’S SOME HOMETOWN FAVORITES.
>> I’VE NEVER BEEN TO A MAJOR
LEAGUE GAME AND I SAID WHY NOT
MAKE IT TO THE TIGERS, NEVER
BEEN TO A GAME IN THE BIG HOUSE,
I WANT TO TAKE OUR GIRLS TO
BELLE ISLE.
I USED TO PLAY AT BELLE ISLE ALL
THE TIME WHEN I WAS A LITTLE
KID.
THE GO-FUND-ME IS MORE THAN
$8600 AND SHE WANTS TO USE THAT
MONEY FOR MORE THAN JUST HER
BUCKET LIST, BUT FOR RESEARCH.
>> THERE IS NO CURE.
BUT THEY’RE GETTING CLOSE.
THEY’RE SO CLOSE, TO SOMETHING
THAT MAYBE CAN’T CURE IT, BUT
CAN STOP IT RIGHT WHERE IT IS.
>> DR. FELDMAN SAYS THAT THE
STATE OF MICHIGAN HAS ONE OF THE
HIGHEST PREVALENCES OF ALS IN
THE COUNTRY.
AND AS FOR MELISSA, SHE’S NOW
CONSIDERED 100% DISABLED.
AND IF YOU WANT TO HELP HER OUT
AND HELP RAISE MONEY FOR
RESEARCH, WE’LL HAVE THAT LINK
ON CLICKONDETROIT.COM.
LIVE IN DETROIT, MEGAN WOODS,
LOCAL 4.
>> Jason: ANYONE WHO HAS HAD A
LOVED ONE WHO HAS HAD ALS KNOWS
