We need to let people with ALS know they are not alone.  ALS affects more than nerve cells and muscles, it affects families, friends, co-workers, and communities. 

Very peacefully and on his own terms, Steven A. Bornn came to the end of his painful journey with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 23, in the presence of his brother David and longtime friends.

Steven was principally involved in public relations/film production/event production/marketing. From a start as a reporter at the Virgin Islands Daily News under the tutelage of Ariel Melchior Sr. and Jr., he rose to working in the then USVI Commerce Department in St. Thomas and New York; event management with J. Walter Thompson and Ogilvey & Mather; the director of marketing for the USVI Department of Tourism and contractor development manager of the USVI Film Promotion Office; the first CEO/director of Discover Dominica Tourism Authority; and his own marketing, consulting and production company, Publicity Ink. Corp and Left Lane Productions…which also produced Fireworks by Grucci for multiple events in the territory. Steven’s joy was working in film production with and managing multiple major film production shoots that yielded international exposure for the USVI and generated millions of dollars for the territory.
