Michael W LeRoy is a prominent Orlando-based attorney that
is known for his long history of successful trial defenses and exceptional law
throughout the state. He is also known as a philanthropist that has contributed
through a variety of means to causes that have a special meaning to him as an
individual, and to the law firm that he
founded which is called Fulmer LeRoy and Albee, PLLC. LeRoy is the firm’s
managing partner. A family member of his
was afflicted with the disease known as ALS. ALS is known as amyotrophic
laterals sclerosis and it is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that
affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord of the afflicted individual.
It is a debilitating disease that gained awareness when in 1939 the famed
athlete Lou Gehrig was publicly afflicted by the disease. The progressive degeneration
of neurons within the afflicted inevitably leads to accelerated death. Many
people recognize ALS by the paralysis that it incurs on those that have it.
This is due to the voluntary muscle action that is impacted by the progression
of the disease. LeRoy has been a supporter of a variety of ALS causes and he
contributes to these organizations as much as possible. He is a major
contributor to these types of organizations that reach out and are searching to
find a cure as well as making the lives of those that are afflicted by the
disease as comfortable as possible. Until there is a cure he is dedicated to
doing all he can to help those that are dealing with this disease. Quite
recently a phenomenon took place called the ice bucket challenge, and in it,
participants would douse themselves with a bucket of cold ice water in order to
show their support and contribute financially to the race to find a cure for
ALS. LeRoy did participate in the ice bucket challenge, and he has contributed
in far more significant ways to the cause.
