Some information will be welcome since it seems like it is taking an eternity to have a delivered and working ALS Registry. Every month that it takes means that we lose the clues of over 500 Americans who die from ALS. Every month.
Since the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry is in charge of this effort, we hope that the BP oil disaster won't distract from the ALS Registry but might actually move it up the priority ladder.
Many of us will be listening on June 22 and are grateful for this opportunity.
