Instructions: Kevin Turner is a former NFL player who has ALS and is in pretty bad shape. (His speech is pretty hard to understand but he still texts)

Turner lives in Alabama and goes to Port St Lucie to get treatment. He's also the lead plaintiff in the concussion law suit against the NFL, which is now nearing settlement. It sounds like we'll get access to hang with Turner at the house/apartment he rents and then go with him to his treatment at a clinic. His condition is fairly poor, and his speech is strained, so please keep that in mind. Looking for portraits and candid reportage of him. Please coordinate with Ken on where to be and when on Friday.
