FOR LOVE & LIFE: NO ORDINARY CAMPAIGN is a documentary film that follows Brian Wallach, who at 37, was diagnosed with ALS on the same day he and his wife Sandra brought their youngest daughter home from the hospital.

Nearly 7,000 rare diseases, including ALS, affect 300 million people worldwide. CZI's Rare As One Project supports patient advocates like Brian who are leading groundbreaking movements to find treatments and cures for rare diseases.
