Pete Frates, who helped popularize the"Ice Bucket Challenge" and raised millions of dollars for ALS research, died Monday of the disease. He was 34 years old."We ask that you celebrate Pete and the hope that he has given to so many by following his daily affirmation: Be passionate, be genuine, be hardworking, and don’t ever be afraid to be great," the statement continued.
Though Frates wasn't Gehrig's equal on the field, he may have matched the Hall of Famer in drawing attention to the disease they shared. It was Gehrig's diagnosis in 1939 — and his"I might've been given a bad break," Gehrig said, as ALS cut short his career,"but I've got an awful lot to live for."that erodes muscle function. People with ALS lose the ability to speak, walk and, eventually, breathe on their own.
"He called me on the day he was diagnosed, and it was not half a second feeling sorry for himself," said Frates's former baseball coach at BC, Pete Hughes."He was going to get out and motivate and speak and inspire. He embraced it, and he looked at it as an opportunity for him and his calling in life. That wasn't flowery talk from Pete to make me feel better about the diagnosis; that was how Pete was wired and how he was raised.
