About this event
5PM reception with DJ GrayGray from House Music for ALS 6PM Film Screening and Q&A with Dr. Richard Bedlack
REGISTER TO ATTEND!
Stitching Strength is a documentary film that captures the fight against ALS - a terminal disease that strips away the body's control - through lens of creativity, courage, and connection.
At its heart is Dr. Richard Bedlack, a neurologist whose bold fashion and bolder optimism set the tone for a radically different kind of care. But this isn't just his story. It's about the patients who refuse to be defined by their diagnosis, and the families who turn grief into art, music, and action.
This is not a story of surrender. It's a story of style, strength, and the power of believing in what's still possible. For Dr. Bedlack, fashion isn't just how you dress - it's an expression of joy. A conversation starter. A shield against despair. It's medicine. Clothing becomes a way for patients to reclaim their identity, adorn themselves with dignity, and express the parts of themselves ALS can't touch. Style becomes a tool for healing, not just expression. From accessible runway designs to custom suits lined with symbolism, every stitch is an act of strength. Read more about Stitching Strength.
Opening reception will feature DJ GrayGray from House Music for ALS.
