Team @BeAHero here. Many of you have asked what you can do for Ady’s family as they grieve.
One way you can help is by donating to the GoFundMe created by his friends. It would have meant the world to Ady to see folks come together to support his family.

@BeaHero Thank you to everyone who has supported Ady and our family over the years—from the amazing caregivers who became family to us to the activists facing their own health challenges who joined the movement he was building @BeAHero. [4/4]

@BeaHero Ady fought for the 24/7 care he needed to be home with us until the end of his life. It’s impossible to thank his incredible caregivers enough for their labor and care, which allowed us to live as a family through Ady’s health challenges. Everyone should have that chance

It’s with deep sadness that we announce the death of our co-founder and co-executive director, @AdyBarkan, at age 39 due to ALS-related complications.
Ady will continue to be at the heart of Be A Hero and what we do here for years to come. https://t.co/Cd6sfxVW5l

Hi all, this is Ady’s wife, Rachael. I’m devastated to share the news that Ady has died from complications of ALS. You probably knew Ady as a healthcare activist. But more importantly he was a wonderful dad and my life partner for 18 years. [1/4] https://t.co/KZ8k73Gujp

Medicare Advantage *appears* to be better for you if you are relatively healthy.
But the problem with getting older is that, inevitably, you get sick. @SenJeffMerkley #MedicareDisadvantage

Has Medicare Advantage achieved its objectives?
No. It has failed the American people.
Thank you @SenJeffMerkley for explaining so succinctly. #MedicareDisadvantage

“Do not choose your health [and] prescription drug coverage based on an advertisement.”
Why? Because the private insurers running ads for Medicare (Dis)Advantage have been known to deploy misleading marketing to get folks to sign up. Shame. https://t.co/nLjersz8fS
