Kevin "KT" Turner was a talented football player who played for the Alabama crimson tide, and both the patriots and the Philadelphia eagles. When he was 41 years old he was diagnosed with ALS after noticing that his left hand was not able to pick up things. After the diagnosis, his health rapidly declined, his first wife divorced him and he married his nurse and moved in with his parents. His diagnosis can be linked to his years as a football player where he said that he had multiple head trauma incidents from direct hits on the football field. I did not know that ALS could be linked to direct head trauma but apparently, multiple football players are later diagnosed with ALS. KT passed away last year at the age of 46. His hometown has built a football field in his honor, to always remember their hometown football hero.
