@RebelTanea Hi Rebel! I’m sorry to meet under these circumstances, but we’re so happy you’re here. I know you’ll find the @iamalsorg community to be pretty incredible. Thank you for your advocacy! ♥️
I see myself in this image. Literally, that’s my dad and I, alongside way too many amazing friends impacted by ALS. Thank you @MLB for #LouGehrigDay and everything it means to this community. @iamalsorg
“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.
💙 Come as you are 💙
Join us for a community-led conversation about volunteering with the I AM ALS community. We’ll share favorite ways to get involved, reflect on our experiences, and answer your questions about volunteering.

ALS steals too much — but it will never steal our determination, our urgency, or our drive. 💙
Volunteer. Advocate. Donate. Take action.
Get in, we’re ending ALS.

👋 @BianchiWeather - for someone who hates driving in winter conditions (especially in May) do you expect NB I-25 (Denver to FoCo) to be a mess early tomorrow morning? Is it best to just head north on Monday evening instead? TY!
TY, @iamalsorg!
DEN, I could use your help! We have call on 4/30 where involvement would make a world of difference as we work toward the reauthorization of ACT for ALS. Pls message me if you’re interested in learning more.
Thank you for joining our movement to end ALS. 💙🧡

These @CSURams brought home a WIN from the Western States Collegiate Sales Competition at Chico State!! Hey, @CSUMBasketball is this how we do SNACK TIME celebrations?! 💚🐏💛
My birthday wish, please use the @iamalsorg link below to ask Congress to reauthorize the ACT for ALS. This bipartisan legislation is critical to research, treatment, care, and providing hope for those living with ALS. Thank you!
Maggie has one wish for her birthday—a world where ALS is history. Wish Maggie a happy birthday by pushing for ACT for ALS reauthorization TODAY @ https://t.co/mr09LldAKa
You may remember Maggie from our #PushforProgress campaign back in September. She filmed hilarious videos from her favorite spots in Denver, and even introduced us to her hairdresser to help us reach our fundraising goal! She's funny and relatable, and a fierce ALS advocate.

What do volunteers at I AM ALS *actually* do? Each team is different, but there are lots of fun opportunities no matter which team you join! Hear from co-chair Pete Spencer about what the Lou Gehrig Team gets up to… and sign up to join them: https://t.co/DuXAzl6sKn
Our #PushforProgress campaign kickoff has been a HUGE success so far—and while our work isn’t done yet, we couldn’t have made it this far without you.
THANK YOU, Ron, Maggie, Linda, Jake, Dr. Bedlack, Tim, and everyone else for everything you do to make this work possible.
@CCSDMaskUp As always, TY for this!! Nice to see decreasing trends!
FWIW, when I got Flu & Covid shots this week, the CVS pharmacist shared that they’ve seen a big uptick in Paxlovid Rx the last three weeks 😷
