Former Cal fullback Eric Stevens received some tragic news as he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Having become a firefighter, Stevens and his friends and family are fighting to raise awareness about ALS with #axeALS and a Facebook page to track their journey.
A captain of the Cal Berkeley football team, professional football player for the St. Louis Rams, and now a Los Angeles City firefighter, Eric was getting married to the woman of his dreams, Amanda. They were excited to start a family and their new life together with their dog Duke.
