Review of Girls Kick ALS
ALS is a tough disease for people and their friends to deal with and understand. Jessica Lockhart's report helps on both fronts.
Her delivery is conversational, smooth and connected to the topic. She brings in the friends of Darcy, a 34 year old diagnosed with ALS. They want to help their friend, and others who may suffer from the disease. AND they come up with a clever name for their effort.
The editing helps set a good pace so the friends of Darcy can to tell their story.
