The San Francisco 49ers are no strangers to the devastating disease, ALS, which recently claimed the life of Niners legendary wide receiver Dwight Clark last June.
And while there have been plenty of advancements in other medical areas, ALS remains an incurable disease, ravaging those affected as well as their families and loved ones.
Yet with as big a tragedy Clark’s passing was, there are some inspiring efforts deriving from it.
One of those is a new feature documentary, San Francisco Legends Take On ALS, a project produced by Julia Hutton and longtime Bay Area News Group columnist and 49ers beat writer Mark Purdy.
