ALS Association Asking Public to Share Their Stories

May is ALS Awareness Month

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. It is estimated that as many as 30,000 Americans have the disease at any given time. Although it can occur at a younger age, most people who develop ALS are between the ages of 40 and 75. There is no cure.

The ALS Awareness Month campaign, led by The ALS Association, is designed to make a collective impact on the public and lawmakers regarding important issues facing people with the disease. The theme of this year’s ALS Awareness month is “Create a World Without ALS. Speak Up Now to Give Hope.”

Sharing Your Story

Whether you're a person living with ALS, a family member, friend, or concerned individual, they want to hear from you. In the words of The ALS Association, “visitors to our website understand more about the impact of Lou Gehrig's Disease.” They are encouraging others to write (and read) about the disease to educate policymakers, the media and the public.

Note: When you submit your story to their website, you agree that they can use, share, and make public your story, using only your first name, last initial, city and state. They won’t share or make public your last name, address, phone number, or email address without permission to do so.
