My name is Margit Olson. I was diagnosed in April of 2025. Since my diagnosis, I had to retire from being a high school teacher. I live in South Philly with my wife and our 11-year-old son. ALS has stolen my independence, my voice, and my career. But it will never steal my compassion. Since I retired, I spend my time volunteering with local organizations to provide food for those in need. I work with the South Philly Community Fridge and Lasagna Love. As we say in our house, food is a right, not a privilege.
