Girls' Generation member Sooyoung proved once again to have a heart of gold when she revisited former basketball coach, Park Seung Il, who was diagnosed back in 2002 with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease).  In the past, she had mentioned her desire to visit him and have done so in 2010, snapping a picture to share with her fans.  


Unfortunately, this caused a portion of netizens to malign her with comments, such as, "Did you visit him in the hospital to get a shot of proof?  Why are you making a V-sign by a hurting patient?  Are you making fun of the hurting patient?" However, it was shown through 'Strong Heart' that she had taken time out of her busy schedule just to keep visiting him, and it was revealed the picture was taken because he of Park Seung Il's request.  Other Girls' Generation members have likewise taken time out of their schedule to visit Park Seung Il. This year, Sooyoung visited him again, showing that their friendship was as strong as ever!

The two snapped another cute picture together, which was uploaded onto her Instagram on December 15.  The kind idol wrote, "Selca bong time.  My brother, Seung Il, who said he enjoyed such a happy 2014 thanks to the 'Ice Bucket Challenge.'  We want to say thanks to the people who helped."

I was diagnosed with bulbar ALS in May 2024. I live in Texas, and Im 68 years old. I take Nudexta medication to help with the emotional outbursts of laughing and crying. The weakness, slurred speech, and muscle loss progressed quickly. Mobility has been an issue since Dec 26, when I fell and broke my hip, and although I made small strides at first, I felt like my life had been placed on a countdown, as there was no known cure other than the prescription of riluzole medications, vitamins, and therapies. As the disease progressed, my symptoms worsened. With my neurologist's guidance we decided to try other approaches and started the ALS/MND treatment, and it changed everything. Within 5 months, I noticed more strength in my limbs, clearer speech, and I have stopped using feeding tubes. Im starting to learn how to walk again & I now sleep better. This ALS/MND treatment program gave me back control and hope. we got the treatment from uinehealthcentre. net This is a game changer for people with ALS.

My first ALS symptom occurred in 2016, but was diagnosed in 2018. I had severe symptoms ranging from shortness of breath, balance problems, couldn't walk without a walker or a power chair, i had difficulty swallowing and fatiue. I was given medications which helped but only for a short burst of time, then I decided to try alternative measures and began on ALS Formula treatment from Aknni herbs centre, It has made a tremendous difference for me (Visit ww w. aknniherbscentre.c om). I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength, improved eyesight and others.
