Spread the word!

According to I AM ALS, more than 60% of Americans know nothing about ALS, including that the disease is fatal. Less than 50% knew that the Ice Bucket Challenge raised money for ALS.

More awareness means more funding, which allows for expanded patient services and even better research. And more research means effective treatments!
