Last summer’s Ice Bucket Challenge was unprecedented in the history of The ALS Association, helping raise $115 million and connecting people around the world with a devastating disease many had never heard of before. This May, during ALS Awareness Month, we are building on that momentum with #ChallengeALS.

The National ALS Advocacy Day and Public Policy conference is next week! If you won’t be with us in Washington, please join the fight against ALS on May 12th, National ALS Advocacy Day, with the simple click of a button! And, tune in to the Public Policy Conference on May 11th for live-streamed research updates.
A special thank you to all of the advocates who urged Congress to support legislation that benefits people with ALS. Because of you, the Steve Gleason Act passed the U.S. Senate and is currently pending in the House of Representatives. The Steve Gleason Act ensures access to speech generating devices for the courageous individuals who battle the disease, and your help has been critical to its advancement.
Sign up to be an ALS Advocate to receive advocacy action alerts that let you know when you can make a difference and help push legislation that benefits people with ALS!
