ALS advocates provide critical leadership in the fight to find the cure for ALS. If you haven’t registered to become an ALS advocate yet, there is no better time than now to help make a difference! Your voice is needed to urge Congress to expand its funding of ALS research and patient care. This summer, you can make a difference in your community by setting up meetings with your representatives while they’re home in their districts during the August recess.

These accolades present an incredible opportunity to continue the momentum of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge again this August. We hope you’ll commit to joining us in taking the challenge every August until there’s a cure. We are forever grateful for your support and the attention you have brought to the fight against ALS!
