We're launching our Push for Progress campaign to accelerate ALS research, expand treatment access, & secure $1BN in federal funding over 3 years. ALS is at a tipping point CLOSE to new treatments, but thousands will lose access unless we TAKE ACTION @ https://t.co/VhKhQrJx4S

Thank you @Rep_Magaziner for cosponsoring the #JusticeForALSVeterans Act! Veterans with ALS often pass before qualifying for full survivor benefits, leaving families without critical support. This bill fixes that gap. Help get it across the finish line: https://t.co/iok5N4qCZd

Tim Lowrey began this panel series to educate more people about ALS through their schools or places of work. We miss him very dearly, and we're upholding his legacy by continuing to offer his virtual panel discussions. Request a panel @ https://t.co/y6Dmv7CnVw

Lou Gehrig Day is powered by community. From ballparks to living rooms, the ALS community came together this year to raise awareness and drive action.

The House Appropriations Committee moved forward a bill that will fund ACT for ALS at 85M, $10M more in ALS research at the NIH, and $3M more for the CDC’s ALS Registry at CDC. We are grateful for the increases in funds, but it is not enough. Take action: https://t.co/WtYIs36gaJ

ALS taught many of us how to ask for help.

AND how to accept it. 💙

Thank you for sharing your ALS story, Wilbert, and for reminding us of the strength found in community and support.

"At the beginning of my junior year of college, my dad, my biggest supporter, was diagnosed with ALS. Taking on this huge responsibility at 21 has been one of the hardest things to do. I want to make an impact in the ALS community" — Aaliyah, caring for her dad living with ALS

We are so grateful to new FDA Commissioner @FDA_KyleD and the entire agency for their commitment to regulatory flexibility and progress. It was an honor to be in the room with other rare disease leaders to recommend concrete changes and advance therapies.

Many community members we met on the National Mall echoed what Tanya shared: the ALS community provides connection, camaraderie, and belonging throughout an otherwise isolating journey. 💙

Thank you for sharing your story, Tanya.

“I might have been given a bad break. But I’ve got an awful lot to live for.”

87 years after Lou Gehrig became the face of ALS, there is still no cure.

Today on #LouGehrigDay, we continue our mission to raise awareness of ALS, support the need for research and care, remember those who bravely fought, and recognize those who continue to battle.

HAPPY #LouGehrigDay 💙⚾
