Walk United to End ALS
The ALS United Walk is a wonderful opportunity for everyone in the ALS community to come together, show support, and make a difference. Your participation can help raise awareness and funds for crucial research and care. Let’s unite for this important cause and strengthen our community—together, we can end ALS.
Prepare for Emergencies
Emergencies and disasters can happen at any moment, and it’s important to be ready to act quickly, whether that involves evacuating or finding a safe place to stay. For the thousands of Americans living with ALS, situations like fires, floods, or natural disasters can be especially challenging. That’s why having a good plan is so important to keep you and your loved ones safe.
Alisa Brownlee, ATP, CLIPP, CAPS, WSP, CEAC/Mastery, recorded a video to explain how you can prepare for emergencies.
