<\/figure>\n\n\n\nZachary Siple<\/b> is a freshman at Indiana University of Pennsylvania in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania and is pursuing a degree in psychology. His father Duane was diagnosed with ALS when Zach was just three years old and passed away in 2016. Zach was an honor roll student in high school and continued to participate in sports and youth summer camps despite the disease which affected his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zach explained that his brother and he grew up very confused and scared by their dad\u2019s disease, and \u201cI don\u2019t want any kid to ever have to feel like that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy future hopes are to be a middle school\/high school guidance counselor. Since I\u2019ve been through so much in my short life and survived it, I could help other kids\/young adults also,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
