In Cincinnati, 27-year-old Hannah Broermann’s life took an unexpected turn when she was diagnosed with ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease. The journey to this diagnosis was long, taking nearly two years of tests and appointments before she finally received answers.

Hannah and her husband, Logan Chowning, were just beginning their life together, having recently married and purchased a home. However, the diagnosis changed their plans. Despite the challenges, Hannah remains active in her community, working with Meals on Wheels and continuing to serve others.

The community has rallied around Hannah, with friends and family launching “Hope for Hannah,” a grassroots effort to help the couple navigate the financial and accessibility challenges posed by ALS. Next week, Hannah will throw out a ceremonial first pitch at the Cincinnati Reds’ Lou Gehrig Day, raising awareness for ALS.

Logan speaks highly of his wife’s resilience and kindness, noting that she has always been the person who shows up for others. Their marriage, though different from what they imagined, remains strong, grounded in faith and mutual support.

Community Support and Faith

The outpouring of support for Hannah underscores the importance of community and faith in facing life’s challenges. As Hannah continues her journey, the love and support from those around her serve as a testament to the strength found in family and faith.
