Every May, The ALS Association joins the ALS community in celebrating ALS Awareness Month, a time to bring attention and understanding to this disease. As part of this year’s Awareness Month, we are happy to be launching the ALS Association Blog!

We know that people living with ALS – including family members, caregivers, and friends – form a tight-knit community. Because of this, we want to make our blog a place for you to share your stories and talk with each other. Posts will include stories and creative works submitted by people in the ALS community, and visitors to the blog will be able to leave comments and share their favorite articles on social media.

The blog will also be a place to find the latest news, information, and issues related to ALS, and will offer a look at the progress of The Association’s initiatives in research, advocacy, and care services.

We encourage you to stay tuned for more blog posts – you can use the “follow” feature to receive an email notification whenever we publish a post. And be sure to participate in National ALS Advocacy Day on May 10, when the ALS community will make its voice heard at the highest levels of Congress.
