RIP Pete Frates, a true hero.

My grandpa is suffering from this disease, he used to be a very active man, now he cant walk anymore. I wouldn't wish this disease to my worst enemy

RIP.. A true hero that never wore a cape. Thank you for what you have inspired. Rest easy

Rest in peace, young man. Thank you for your efforts in getting the word out about ALS.

I lost my father too back in 2012, he really suffered a lot, he carried the disease for almost 18 years. He was one of the people who last for such a long time here in Mexico and is good to see that there are people that donate and gives support to this disease, cause is hard to handle, it's very difficult, not only for the person that has ALS but to all the family and loved ones around that person, we didn't have much support at the begining, but after a while, when people started to pay attention to details and what the disease causes, only then, family and close friends helped us. By seeing you Pete reminds me to my father, reminds me the strenght he got until the very end. God Bless You! and all the people that is close to this kind of situation. My heart is with all of you.

Everyone who has taken the bucket challenge should listen to this story of Pete Frates

Dear Pete, I only want to thank you for the feelings that you are inspired in al the people, for the love that you share with all of us, I will always pray for you and your loving familiy. Remember that the miracles does exist, and you are part of it. God bless you.

Wow I pray that there is a cure for this disease. And why would anyone give this a thumbs down?

Rest in peace Pete.

God bless you, Pete, & all those suffering from this horrible disease!

Who the hell are the 2 maggots that had the audacity to vote this down? I mean, honestly, how can you? What didn't you like about it? The fact that it hits you right in your chest? Or how it turned an ordinary guy into a warrior? Either way I hope you never have a loved one affected by this horrible disease. 

RIP my man, you fought the good fight.

God Bless you Pete!! Your attitude and courage are inspiration to a lot of people. I lost my father to ALS back in 2007 and he was one of the lucky ones who didn't have to suffer that long. You and your family will be in my prayers. Let's change the ending forever......

Maybe a cure won't be found in time to reverse what's happening to Pete but what a difference you will make. To you, your wife, your brother and all of your family - well done on starting the #icebucketchallenge and raising so much money for ALS research. The awareness you have raised is going to make a difference. Amazing what you've done.

Hes still very intelligent and can communicate extremely well

Rest In Peace buddy, I hope one day I’ll have the honor of having a catch with you up there, and you telling me all about that Fenway game

You are amazing! Yes, if you build it...they will come! Look at what your story has inspired in the Ice Bucket Challenge - together we can rewrite YOUR story! Thanks for sharing. Peace

How could anyone dislike this video???

RIP Pete. 🙏🙏🙏

Rest In Peace ❤️❤️

You are a much better human and man than I will ever be, God Bless.

RIP Pete

I've definitely heard of ALS, and am somewhat familiar with what it entails, but seeing someone my age, someone I actually knew and went to school with struggling with it is a huge eye opener. This was an amazing video.

Rest in peace

Pete and Julie- your story is quite inspirational. My whole family participated in the "ice bucket challenge" and that was how I learned of your story. Also we lived in Beverly for about10 years and my neice went to school with you. I can see that you are remaining strong which I am sure is not easy.

Wow... What an inspiration. Thank you for your boldness. God Bless You..

Brakes my heart this disease is mortal evil wish i can make a cured is not fair all the lives we have lost. ....

Bless his heart

This is the most inspiring video on #RU-vid today! This is the man who inspired millions to do the #alsicebucketchallenge to raise awareness and finding a cure for this diseases that has no origin or causes on where Lou Gehrig disease came from. I hope the charity money will help find the cure. Make this charity happen the battle against #ALS starts now! Greetings for the Philippines and stay strong #Pete!

So inspirational. Thank you for sharing and educating us. I am wishing you, Pete, the continued strength to meet the challenges you are facing. Your courage inspires me.

R.I.P Pete🙏🙏

i feel for this young guy it brought a lump to my throat and tears in my eyes he is very courage's i done the icebucket challeng and would do it again god be with u pete x

God bless you, and give you peace.

Pete and Julie, You are so articulate and your story is tremendously important for all to hear and learn. You are both so beautiful, so bright and so full of light. Your journey is very difficult but I believe the outcome of this terrible illness will be re-written. I know the system quite well (as I have a 42 year old son who suffers from Schizophrenia, a disabling brain disorder) I'm not an attorney...just a mother who is willing to offer answers in regards to Medicare and the frustrating bureaucracy. Julie, I requested you as a friend on FB...I'm a friend of Shane Sabine. Its an honor to hear your story from across the miles! May God watch over you and bless you, always! ~Gloria

Pete you are a very strong and courageous person. I think the more exposure ALS gets the more people will do the research find the genetics that cause this disease and find a cure so you can watch your daughter grow up. P.S. I pray for you every day and that a cure is found in 2015.

Pete, I think you and your family are amazing in what you've all accomplished since your diagnosis. Always been a great guy man. All my best Pete, corey harrison :) lil blast from the past lol, no one forgets Pete Frates ;)

The true horror of the disease. Your body deteriorating and your mind gets sharper. A very cruel disease. I’m so sorry.

God bless you and your family! It brought tears into my eyes and at same time inspired. Please continue to fight with your disease you have lots of love from the people around you.

Thanks for bringing this disease to my attention. Hang in there, Pete.

Too late for my brother and many others but HOPE for the future. Great job and I wish you and your family everything good. Keep living. Your life and your message are so incredibly important.

keep fighting pete

RIP

Cried

Amazing. Speechless.

che Dio ti benedica grande uomo.

My brother in law was just diagnosed with ALS. I feel horrible!

💙💙💙

What if he and others could be healed in 2-3 months? It's sad that people suffer when there is a cure..................

How come cholinesterase inhibitors are not used for ALS ? If is helps in myesthenia gravis with muscle weakness shouldn't it also help in ALS?

Do you think if I offered to pull him in an iron man hed accept?

Pete...Looking at you I see our son Jon...wishing you more good days than tough ones...Mary Ann, Jon's mom waronals.org

Who are the people who are unliking this??? You are the worst species in the universe

:'(

12 Evil human being proof of their existence on earth...

I feel for this man. My former boss died from ALS a few years ago. It's a horrible disease. However I don't understand why he and his wife would conceive a child knowing full well that this disease is passed down genetically. That seems extremely selfish and foolish.

whats wrong with his voice
