About this Event
HOPE HAS A COLOR. HEALING HAS A STYLE.
nvest in Cures 2026 - A Disease Foundation Forum
We are delighted to host a free public screening of Dr. Richard Bedlack’s 32-minute documentary , followed by an audience Q&A with Richard Bedlack, MD, PhD and Catherine Lomen-Hoerth, MD, PhD.
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.
All are welcome.
