Steve Gleason Recovering After Accident at Clinic

Former New Orleans Saints safety Steve Gleason, who has been battling ALS since 2011, is recovering at home after a traumatic accident while exiting his van. The incident occurred as he was about to speak at the Gleason Life Skills Volleyball Clinic, and while it was serious, quick action from his care team, a passerby doctor, and being strapped into his wheelchair helped prevent worse injuries. Gleason, known for his advocacy for ALS and his sense of humor, joked about the incident preparing him for a hypothetical fight against Jake Paul. He expressed gratitude for the support and love from family, friends, and fans as he recuperates. Gleason's story continues to inspire many, having received the Arthur Ashe Courage Award and a Congressional Gold Medal for his contributions to ALS awareness and support.
