Help recognize May as ALS Awareness Month!
Lend your voice to the fight against ALS this month to help bring awareness and understanding of this devastating disease. Become an ALS advocate, urge your representatives to support legislation that impacts the entire ALS community, and bring attention to the needs of people with ALS so, together, we can realize our vision of a world without ALS once and for all.
