I AM ALS

I AM ALS is the largest community movement made up of the very people living with, impacted by, and highly motivated to end ALS.

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

Veterans are more than 2x as likely to be diagnosed with ALS. We don’t know why, and Veterans deserve answers. Support Operation: END ALS, created by our Veterans Team co-chair Juan Reyes: https://t.co/1Mu1a0eeNU (case-sensitive)

Losing a spouse to ALS shouldn’t mean losing financial support because the disease moved too fast. 📣 Tell Congress to pass the Justice for ALS Veterans Act provisions: https://t.co/G2dtzYaLmX (case-sensitive) #EndALS #VeteransDay

[I AM ALS @iamalsorg]

Veterans with disabilities, including those living with ALS, deserve VA services they can actually access. 📣 Ask Congress to pass the Veterans Accessibility Advisory Committee Act: https://t.co/LW7Zq1KWGy (case-sensitive) #EndALS #VeteransDay

Thank you, Nicole Cimbura, former co-chair of the I AM ALS Legislative Affairs Team! 💙 She helped pass the original ACT for ALS and created the “lightning in the bottle” behind historic federal ALS research funding. This year’s reauthorization work was built on her foundation.

ACT for ALS is law! But our work isn’t done. It allocates $100M a year for 5 years ($500M total) toward federal ALS research, but that funding isn’t guaranteed. Tell your lawmakers to fully fund the ACT for ALS: https://t.co/99T3pLLyKx (case-sensitive)

Thank you to the I AM ALS Legislative Affairs Team for passing the ACT for ALS in tough times. Hundreds of people living with ALS will now get treatments they otherwise never would have. Jack, Troy, Garrett, and Teri, you're the engine of this community. —Dan Tate, Jr.

Throwback moment with the amazing Jenny! Jenny found I AM ALS through Alex Toussaint's Give Back Run Club Tour stop in Chicago last September. With no personal connection, she felt drawn to this movement and has been an advocate ever since. The cause: ending ALS.

[I AM ALS @iamalsorg]

IT HAPPENED! ACT for ALS has been signed into law! 🎉 We rang every bell and knocked on every door, and it was reauthorized with just 24 hours to spare. Access to promising treatments, $500M in research, and a faster path to a cure. Thank you for making history with us!
