ALD, one must be wondering what that stands for. It is Adrenoleukodystrophy, a genetically determined neurological disorder that affects 1 in every 17,900 boys worldwide. Doesn't sound like a lot but imagine how many people are in the world, then how many boys then try the math again! The presentation of symptoms occurs between the ages of 4 and 10, and affects the brain with demyelination.
One could learn more about this movie by searching the web for adrenoleukodystrophy or even watching Lorenzo's Oil with Nick Nolte and Susan Surandon, which is based on a true story.
The point of this is that ALD is not getting the attention it deserves and if you would like to help this cause in anyway visit the websites posted below to find out ways you can help. Please it is a good cause!
