ALS ADVOCACY

ALS ADVOCACY
Lou Gehrig's Disease - Motor Neuron Disease - Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Today We Remember Lou Gehrig

On this date in 1941, a 37-year-old Lou Gehrig died.

We should be making a big splash on these dates in history that give us such meaningful reference points to understand ALS.

Silence is not golden when it comes to ALS advocacy.
