Eric’s Journey: Everyday is a Battle My Body Won't Always Let Me Win
Life can change in an instant. For Eric Neal, that moment came with a diagnosis of Stiff Person Syndrome—a rare and debilitating neurological condition that causes severe muscle stiffness, painful spasms, and progressive mobility challenges. This condition has reshaped every part of his daily life, from how he moves to how he works, rests, and dreams for the future.
Despite the physical pain and uncertainty, Eric has never let his diagnosis define his spirit.

Thank you to all who gave. We were able to get the car for wheelchair access. Although we were able to get the car, we will keep the campaign going because there is always a constant need. We will appreciate your love and support now and in the future.

Since we started this campaign journey, we have made 10% of our goal. We have talked to family and friends, but we cannot stop. It is too important! Next, my wife plans to start writing campaign letters to companies for help. We should see what happens.In other news, we are trying to get my treatments approved to be done at home so I do not have to go to the hospital every month. Hopefully, we hear something soon because being in the hospital for weeks at a time is never fun. You can ask anybody.
