    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 @ iamals.org/progress

    Our hearts are broken. Sandy Morris has passed. Sandy was not just part of I AM ALS – she was foundational to it. She either directly or indirectly impacted almost everything I AM ALS has done. We have no words to describe our grief and rage.

    Brian and Sandra are the epitome of hope. When Brian was diagnosed with ALS, he turned tragedy into action by launching @iamalsorg and leading a movement to find a cure. I’m inspired by these two—and after you hear their story at the @DemConvention, you will be, too.

    Listen carefully 👇👇 Yes, you heard that right. $50 billion for research to cure Alzheimer’s, cancer, diabetes AND ALS. @POTUS, we look forward to getting to work and building a future together without ALS.

    BREAKING: the Advisory Committee has voted IN FAVOR of approval for #AMX0035! The final vote count was 7 Yes, 2 No. This does not guarantee FDA approval, but it is a monumental step on the path to approval. To everyone who shared their stories: thank you!!

    Imagine belting a Taylor Swift song while playing a Taylor Swift guitar signed by @taylorswift13 herself. Would be amazing, right? Check out how you can make that happen. Thank you @RepublicRecords and @taylorswift13 for helping to make hope real.

    Ady was a true trailblazer. He laid the groundwork for so much of what this movement stands for and has become. He will be terribly missed.

    When Brian Wallach was diagnosed with ALS, he was given six months to live. @bsw5020 and @sabrevaya’s film, For Love & Life: No Ordinary Campaign, chronicles their incredible journey, and proves that all of us are far more powerful than we know. I hope you’ll watch it on Prime

    I AM ALS is appalled by Cigna’s decision to not cover an FDA approved treatment for ALS that extends functionality & life. Cigna needs to immediately reverse this decision. People living with ALS deserve better and don't have time to wait while battling an always fatal disease.

    There are no words to describe the loss being felt by so many after Chris Snow's passing. Chris did so much to bring ALS to the forefront, but more importantly, he was a doting husband, a loving father, and a wonderful person. @kelsieswrites, thank you for sharing him with us.❤️
