Bjorn Formosa On Losing His Voice To ALS

ALS activist Bjorn Formosa took to social media to open up about the motor neurone disease taking away his voice, writing: ‘I can’t speak no more!’

‘People can’t hear me and some of those who can will act as they can’t understand what I want to say.’

‘Losing my voice is a new acquired disability that has put me in a very difficult situation. It has put me out of the conversation and in a tough position to impose myself and share my ideas.’

Describing ALS as the worst of the worst, as it takes everything away, Bjorn is still show incredible motivation, writing: ‘Silently, I will shout louder than I ever had!’

‘I will continue to be a beacon of light for those who are struggling alone and continue working to open fundamental facilities for those who are in desperate need and can’t have their voices heard. I can hear you loud and clear!’

This comes ahead of a fund-raising event on 22nd of September, as the community raises funds for Dar Bjorn Respite – another state of the art project for the Maltese neurological community.
