ALS Awareness in Honor of Robin Martin
This page is dedicated to Robin Martin, Dani’s mom.
Robin’s story is the reason ALS awareness is such an important part of SmokedByDani. She was loving, kind, strong, and deeply loved by everyone who knew her. Her battle with Bulbar ALS changed Dani’s life forever and continues to inspire her advocacy today.

Robin Martin’s Story
Robin Martin was from Brick, New Jersey, and lived a life filled with love, family, kindness, and strength. She was the kind of person who made people feel cared for. Her warmth, humor, and heart left a lasting mark on everyone around her.
When Dani moved to Los Angeles, the bond between mother and daughter stayed strong. They spoke often, shared life updates, and stayed close despite the distance.
In 2021, Dani began noticing changes in her mom’s voice and balance. After months of concern, Robin was diagnosed with Bulbar ALS on November 22, 2021. The diagnosis changed everything.
Bulbar ALS is a fast-moving form of ALS that affects speech, swallowing, movement, and daily life. Robin faced the disease with courage, but the progression was heartbreaking. Dani and her family watched as ALS took away Robin’s voice, mobility, ability to eat, and independence.
Robin passed away on January 23, 2023, surrounded by love.
