The well-known American conductor Thomas Sleeper has been incapacitated with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

A member of the Cherokee nation, he was Director of Orchestral Activities at the University of Miami until 2018 and gave the Chinese premiere of Mahler’s fifth symphony.

He has composed five symphonies in his own right and much more.

Now, his family in Miami need help to cope with the advance of the terrible disease.
