So in August 2021 I was diagnosed with ALS initially with speech symptoms. Almost 3 years later the disease has progressed to my limbs, but I'm still here.

My employer Bloomberg and my team have been amazing and I'm still working. In fact my friend Peter Elliot will be shaving me at Bloomberg in New York on the 21st of May.

The local MND group ( Motor Neurone Disease as it's known in the UK ) have been very supportive although we've lost a few friends to the condition since I've been there.

I'm asking my non UK friends to support Target ALS, a charity set up by the ex CEO of Bloomberg Dan Doctoroff. and my UK friends to support MND Association, ( https://www.justgiving.com/page/philip-miller-mnd-head-shave ) but you choose.



Note: Bloomberg's employee giving program will help match funds I raise for Target ALS and Motor Neurone Disease Association.

All this was inspired by my friend Scott Soper who also shaved his head. If he did it I had to follow. ( https://www.justgiving.com/page/scott-soper-1710703034444 )
