NIH NINDS Director's Message: Updates on ACT for ALS ninds.nih.gov/news-events/di… #NINDS

Last night’s Live Every Day Dinner was filled with inspiration, thanks to Ken Menkhaus and keynote speaker Andrea Lytle Peet. Andrea’s journey to complete a marathon in all 50 states with ALS moved us all. Huge thanks to our amazing guests—your support makes our mission possible!

Andrea doesn’t talk fast enough to list all the wonderful resources the @jmalsfoundation provides but here are some of the critical gaps they fill for ALS families in Charlotte & the Triad – please support their mission! ❤️ (1/2)

Several states are funding ALS care for 2025, but some haven't committed yet. As an #ALS advocate, you can urge your state to prioritize funding, helping those affected get the support they need. Sign up to be an ALS Advocate in YOUR state: als.quorum.us/sign_in/
