Travel Tips for People with ALS and Their Families
Travel offers potential for fun and a potential for challenges for every family. People with ALS face particular challenges with travel that require planning to be best prepared.
The care team at ALS United Mid-Atlantic is here to support our ALS families to make sure that they can live life to the fullest, including with fun and accessible travel.
The Power of ALS Advocates
The symptoms of ALS can lead to physical weakness, but your personal ALS stories are powerful. ALS advocates continue to make a significant impact that often creates meaningful connections that last for years.
Through visits to Capitol Hill, meetings in state capitols, and virtual outreach to elected officials, our ALS patients, caregivers, and families have seen firsthand how their stories make a difference.
