Working Together

Greg Plaxton was a former Heavy-Duty Mechanic for 40 years. With his knowledge, experience, and generosity, he helped people around him. He is known to be the “Handyman, go-to-man.” He helped repair the children’s bicycles in his neighborhood. Greg is fortunate to witness the children grow into young adults, up to having kids on their own. Despite being diagnosed with ALS, that did not stop the children he helped years ago come by and waves to him from the window.

Having ALS can affect a person’s hobbies, aspirations, and goals in life but with the continuous help and support from his lovely wife Michele, and their son Tyler, Andrew and his wife Alexandra. They all go above and beyond to help the ALS society. Having a great support team, Greg looks forward to bringing equipment from the ALS Society with him on his vacation to British Columbia. A summer vacation to make more memories as they visit Steven and Alexandra who resides in Ashcroft, BC, and Tyler who in Texada Island. These are the moments that Greg and Michele look forward to. Texada Island in BC is a beautiful location where you can sit on Tyler’s deck and watch whales swim by and listen to the seals in the evening. Being born and raised in Alberta his whole life, Greg enjoys traveling, as he looks forward to experiencing all sorts of neat and new things.

With support from the ALS Society of Alberta, they continue to help Greg and Michele. As everyone works together to make each day the best day possible for Greg.
