For years, the ALS community has been asking a critical question: “What causes ALS and can we prevent it?” Yesterday, Congress took a step toward answering it.
The HEALTHY BRAINS Act has been reintroduced — and we are proud to have been a leading voice in this moment alongside our community, advocates, and coalition partners. This landmark legislation, originally championed by former Representative @JenniferWexton would be the first time federal funds are directed toward preventing ALS and other neurodegenerative diseases, by creating a first-of-its-kind research center at the NIH focused on the environmental and occupational factors that may trigger ALS.
We are deeply grateful to @RepSuhas and @RepGusBilirakis for their leadership in moving this critical fight forward — and to our dedicated advocates.
