Anna Furbeck, a 37-year-old mother suffering from ALS, is fighting for access to the drug Qalsody, which could significantly improve her quality of life.
Anna Furbeck, a 37-year-old mother from Sweden, began experiencing troubling symptoms three years ago, initially attributing her falls during running to the strain of two close pregnancies. Unfortunately, tests revealed that she had been diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), a severe neurological disease that has drastically altered her active lifestyle. The disease has impacted her everyday life to the extent that she now relies on her husband, sister, and mother for assistance with daily tasks, as the challenges of managing ALS have become overwhelming.
