Brian Wallach has more fight in him, more grit, than seems humanly possible.
The attorney and former Obama White House staffer was diagnosed with Als at the age of 37. He could easily have resigned himself to a cruel and unfair fate at that point, but instead he and his wife Sandra Abrevaya chose to battle on – not just for themselves and their family, but to benefit everyone affected by Als and other conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Their story is told in the documentary For Love & Life: No Ordinary Campaign, which premieres May 28 on Prime Video.

“I am most proud of the fact that we took a disease that nobody knew and made it a centerpiece in the fight against neurodegenerative diseases,” Wallach said as he made an appearance at the Deadline Studio at Prime Experience in Hollywood.
