We’re putting an end to ALS. Until that day, we’re here to help.
What is ALS?
ALS can affect anyone, anywhere, at any age. Learn more.
I AM ALS advocacy has led to big wins. But we’re not done yet, and we don’t have time to waste.
ALS is expected to rise 70% worldwide by 2040. We’re on our way to finding treatments and making ALS a chronic disease, but we need your help!

Patients are getting access to promising therapies NOW because of the ACT for ALS!
The ACT for ALS was an overwhelmingly bipartisan legislation authored by Congress in partnership with the ALS community including I AM ALS, individuals living with ALS, caregivers of people with ALS, medical professionals, scientists, and collaborating organizations after they collectively raised the need for access to clinical research and advocated for an innovative solution for people with a 100% fatal disease with no cure.
Help us with the next phase of the movement as we get closer to treatments and cures.
