For unknown reasons, veterans are more likely to develop #ALS than people who did not serve in the military. We're dedicated to providing resources for military veterans living with the disease and funding research that will help us understand the link between military service and ALS.

I did not realize this.

7moThere was a study that stated veterans who served their country in Desert Storm are 2x more likely to get ALS. These veterans are enduring the ultimate sacrifice when they fought for our country to allow others to continue living their lives as planned. In remembrance of Memorial Day and it being ALS awareness month, I urge you to think how this disease would impact your family and think about what is in your power and authority to make a difference.
