In September 2006, with New Orleans still rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina, Gleason blocked a punt against the Atlanta Falcons in the Saints’ first home game back at the Superdome. The play became a symbol of hope for a city trying to find its footing again. Years later, Gleason was diagnosed with ALS, a progressive disease that gradually robs people of muscle control. As the disease advanced, he lost the ability to speak naturally and came to rely on assistive technology to communicate. But his story did not end there. Through his advocacy and the work of Team Gleason, he has helped bring attention to ALS and improve life for people living with the disease. This is the story of a football moment that meant far more than the game, and a man whose impact has continued long after his playing days ended.
