I am at NEALS leadership meeting. I am so sad inside, but my brain is occupied by thinking how to improve clinical trials and my heart pounds with ❤️ towards ALS patients and all patients out there waiting for effective cures.

My grandmother, at the age of 96 was thinking what she can do to help ALS patients, and she decided to knit for them and gave them to the people who made the highest donation to the ALS Association in 🇹🇷. She is a legend she is living history. She is now in intensive care.

I am beyond sad. My grandmother is dying. A life comes to an end. She is in intensive care. My heart is bleeding. She is a living history of Turkish Republic. Wife of Muammer Yesil the caring mother to so many musicians.
