May 2012 ALS Awareness Month

Once you are connected with the ALS Association they provide you with cutting edge information regarding ALS in the form of research, support and events. If you or someone you know is living with ALS, I highly recommend that you reach out and connect with an ALS Association near you today. No matter how much support you may have from family and friends, the ALS Association is one of the most valuable resources that we could have ever linked up with as I cared for my mother as she lived with ALS. I received this information from them via e-mail regarding ALS Awareness Month which is in May. Every single day in May, 31 days, there is something that you can do to help bring awarenss to this dis-ease. I hope you are able to do something great or small in support of taking a stand against ALS.
What? May is ALS Awareness Month and we have 31 ways YOU can help take a stand against ALS.
Why? Every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes another person loses
