Here I chat with John Driskell Hopkins "Hop”, founding member, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist of the Grammy award-winning Zac Brown Band.

"Grateful to catch up with John Driskell Hopkins (Hop) again to see how he’s doing with his ALS diagnosis.  About 2.5 years after being told he had ALS, John continues to perform with the Zac Brown Band.  Despite seeing some progression of the disease, Hop is living a full and joyful life.  He's busy creating new music, being a family man and promoting Hop On A Cure, the foundation he & his wife, Jennifer started to accelerate ALS research.   Hop shares how ALS is affecting him & what it’s like living out this journey in the public eye.   He updates us on his family, his music projects & how we all can join his efforts to find ALS cures.  Hop gives a sneak peek of their upcoming Harmony for Hope Gala in Atlanta, Georgia on September 14, 2024 - which will be a one of a kind evening with performances by Hop, Zac Brown, Clay Cook, Coy Bowles, Danny De Los Reyes, Kristian Bush, Lily Costner and other special guests.   Listen in to our conversation & share with a friend.

Hugs, Lorri

On Friday the 13th, February 2004 at the age of 37, I was told I have ALS. I’m dying from ALS, yet I’m so encouraged to live life to the fullest. I’ve been inspired by so much to stay focused on the positive. I’m dying to tell you about what gives me strength, makes me smile and keeps me hopeful – in hopes of inspiring you too!
