UNC grad, lecturer with rare ALS strain can’t get drug she needs. She seeks social media’s help.


The first symptom appeared in August, when Lisa Stockman Mauriello noticed a hoarseness in her voice. “People thought she had a bad night,” said her husband, Bob. “Maybe a little under the weather.” Then came difficulty breathing, a scary escalation, until January, when the mother of three learned she had a rare and fast-moving form of ALS.
