Thank you, ALS community! We’re grateful to our Congressional champions for recognizing the urgency of sustaining research funding for ALS, a service-connected disease. We are so grateful to all of our volunteers, partners, and all ALS advocates who rallied to make this happen. And we still need you! Our advocacy will continue to advocate for Department of Defense maintaining these budgets and Congressional intent. Stay tuned for more actions ahead.
