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 a distraction: it’s medicine. A symbol of joy. A conversation starter. A shield against despair.

Clothing becomes a way for patients to reclaim identity, adapt with dignity, and express the parts of themselves ALS can’t touch.

From accessible runway designs to custom suits lined with symbolism, personal style becomes a tool for survival, and sometimes, for healing.

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.

With his support, patients are not just surviving; they’re leading. Collaborating on studies, shaping their care, and daring to believe in outcomes no one thought possible.

Science here means curiosity, teamwork, and a radical refusal to accept status quo limits.
