About Joe Martin
“This is the day the Lord has made. Get up, go to the ballpark and do your very best.” – Joe Martin
After being diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease, Joe Martin decided if he could not recover from the disease, he would recover from the diagnosis. He resolved to live life as actively as possible and he wanted to help others do the same.
The foundation that bears his name turned his vision to reality. Read more about Joe Martin.
