My ALS Story

Image
  My name is Cory Seth Poling. My friends and family call me Seth. I'm 35 years old, born and raised in Buckhannon, WV. I moved to Morgantown, WV 10 years ago. I often say that moving to Morgantown was the best decision of my life, because it eventually led me to meeting the love of my life. I met my wife, Erika, 10 years ago through mutual friends. After numerous attempts to "court" Erika, she couldn't resist my charming personality and dazzling looks and agreed to go on a date with me! But in all seriousness, Erika and I began dating at the beginning of 2014. We were engaged after 15 months of dating and married on August 20, 2016. We have 2 sons, Liam Seth Poling and Bayler Michael Poling. Liam is 3.5 years old and Bayler is 2.5 years old. We have a family dog named Brier. We live the typical life of a younger 30s married couple with 2 children under 4 years old, despite the fact that I have a terminal illness. I have ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig diseas
