Fifth Annual Scott Carlson Road Race gears up to fight ALS
By JONATHAN GIBBS
03/03/2005
Imagine this: You have barely grazed the skin of your life; you're 35 years old, a competitive triathlete in the best shape of your life, you're head-over-heels in love and you have a great job as a software designer that promises to fund all of the above. You just got back from an exhilarating surfing vacation on an exotic peninsula in Costa Rica with the woman of your dreams; life seems limitless and everything seems possible.

Giving
Up Guitar is What He Missed Most
by Jennifer D. Jordan, Journal Staff, 12/5/03
Warwick,
R.I. - As Lou Gehrig's disease ravaged his athletic body,
39-year-old Scott Carlson was pained that could not play
music.
The dust collecting on her husband's favorite guitar, a
top-of-the-line Paul Reed Smith, bothered Hillary Carlson. The guitar had been under their bed ever since
Scott Carlson's hand and arm muscles wasted away when he was 35,
part of the devastating neurological condition ALS, or Lou Gehrig's
disease. Full

Ill man shares winning attitude
By Jennifer D. Jordan
Eagle-Tribune Writer
SALEM, N.H. -- Two years ago, Scott Carlson had to
give up driving. He was 35. Since then, Mr. Carlson has also
given up his engineering job, his beloved guitar, the sports at
which he used to excel, his ability to feed, wash and care for
himself. Suffering from the devastating neurological disease ALS, or Lou
Gehrig's disease, Mr. Carlson has had to give up many things he
thought made him who he was, as his muscles atrophy and breathing
becomes more difficult.

 Coming
To Terms by Barbara Huebner, Globe Staff, 4/9/2000
 ARWICK,
R.I. - In his 35 years, Scott Carlson has crossed the finish line of triathlons,
surfed off the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica, skied the black diamonds of
Jackson Hole, played sweet guitar in a three-man band, immersed himself in a
career he loved. Get up at 5:30 a.m. to train with his ''Team Psycho'' buddies?
No problem. Work 16-hour days writing software? What a rush. Go for a hilly
eight-mile run before skiing all day at Mad River? Let's roll. Full Story

 True
Love
by Jerry
Meyer
After Hillary
Phipps and Scott Carlson were staggered by the diagnosis that he had
Lou Gehrig's disease she did the only sensible thing. She eloped
with the man she loves. As they approach their second anniversary,
Scott's strength is ebbing, but they continue committing all their
energy to a better future for other victims of Amyotrophic Lateral
Sclerosis (ALS). Full

 Choosing
Life by Jillian Hensley
"When the doctor says, 'Well, you have to think of death as a
possibility,' all of a sudden everything comes crashing down, and you
have to pull yourself up. You make a decision right then. 'Am I
going to stay down there, or am I going to live my life.' I choose to live my life."
