Though ALS gradually diminished his ability to move and speak, Kirton never lost his resolve. Rather than retreat, he became a relentless advocate for research and a cure. “As I got to know him, I discovered he was one of the kindest, most driven, and most visionary people I’ve ever met,” said Kevin Moorhead, Senior Director of Cause Funds at Charitable Impact, in an online tribute to Kirton. “Even as ALS took so much from him, he kept giving his time, his energy, and his voice to fight for others and to push for a future without this disease.”
