This video from Rebecca Luker is from Kelli O'Hara's Instagram page, and perhaps elsewhere. Rebecca is remarkably brave, but would like help in being permitted to try certain drugs, one in trial and others already in use for other nerve diseases.
Perhaps the change in the subject will result in better marketing.
A brave video from Rebecca Luker. Help her get on a drug trial.

In my ten years here, I haven't started many threads, and about half of them (or more!) have gotten no responses.
But this one surprises me. This poor woman, you may note, has already lost the use of her limbs and is in a wheelchair. It hasn't affected her speech yet, but it is a heartless, fast-moving disease that will soon attack her lungs. Yet she appears here so calm and so brave although she knows that awful things are in store for her. Apparently her only hope lies in this drug that is still in trials, and she needs to try it soon.
I thought that people may have gone directly to Kelli's Instagram page, but the comments there don't reflect that.

Heart aching. Don't have an instagram, but have shared everywhere I can.
Remarkably brave woman and one of my favorite voices of all time.

Done. Easiest thing in the world. Sadly, I know from statements she and Danny have made that the illness has progressed faster than they would have liked. I'm happy to see her using her position for advocacy, at least there's some small bit of positivity.

Some people who want to help don't feel the need to comment here or on her IG page. Your thread has over 1500 views, so I think many people have signed this note.
My heart goes out to Ms. Luker and all who love her. This is a heartbreaking, relentless disease.

Well, the post had 500 views before it got its first response, from me. From the lack of comments on Kelli's account, there were 51 when I posted this and 61 when I responded to myself hours later. Perhaps people were responding without any comments.
We do the best we can. It should be of no importance to me is someone thinks I was criticizing the community here unfairly. I was so excited when Rebecca came to New York with Hal Prince's classic production of Show Boat and sang Magnolia so beautifully. I never get tired of "Falling in Love with Love."
Yankee great Catfish Hunter contracted ALS and was so completely broken up that they brought him to Yankee spring training camp thinking that it might brighten him. It didn't. He was still unconsolable. Which is why I point out how brave Rebecca is.
Love your avatars, Sutton. Hope whoever is responsible is making money off them.

It's *whomever* and the artist's name is Kathryn Trotter, who is my very favorite artist. She does very well, feel free to buy her art.

The first point is incorrect in terms of the rules of Standard English. “Whoever” is the subject of the free relative clause “whoever is responsible,” so the nominative form is felicitous.

Hahaha. Cool story bro. Help Rebecca or help Kathryn, nothing else matters here.

"Whoever' or 'Whomever" It is confusing. But does that make any difference now? We are here to help Rebecca and all other people who have ALS.

Here's an easy way to remember: all verbs need subjects, so if the word is coming before the verb or is doing the verb, it is "whoever."
And, yes, it is heartbreaking and I hope people write their congressperson, as she asks.
