Stitching Strength captures the fight against ALS, a terminal disease that strips away the body’s control; through a lens of creativity, courage, and connection.
At its heart is Dr. Rick Bedlack, a neurologist whose bold fashion and bolder optimism set the tone for a radically different kind of care. But this isn’t just his story. It’s about the patients who refuse to be defined by their diagnosis and the families who turn grief into art, music, and action.
This is not a story of surrender, it’s a story of style, strength, and the power of believing in what’s still possible.

For Dr. Bedlack, fashion isn’t just how you dress — it's an expression of joy. A conversation starter. A shield against despair. It’s medicine.
Clothing becomes a way for patients to reclaim their identity, adapt with dignity, and express the parts of themselves ALS can’t touch. Style becomes a tool for healing, not just expression.
From accessible runway designs to custom suits lined with symbolism, .

Dr. Bedlack has spent his career defying norms in ALS care: building collaborative teams, pioneering studies on unexplained ALS reversals, and launching ALS Untangled to give patients access to promising experimental options.
