As 2023 comes to a close, we wanted to share some of the impact we have made this past year, thanks to you and all those who have joined us in the fight to end ALS.
Being the primary caregiver for a loved one living with ALS can be stressful. In addition to being on call 24/7, you may have additional responsibilities, like working a full- or part-time job and taking care of children. Caregivers are often so busy supporting their loved ones that their own physical or mental health takes second priority. We want to support you with tips, hints, information and in-depth resources about caregiving, support groups, practicing self-care, coping with burnout, respite care and more. Learn more.
We’re committed to providing people living with ALS and their families and caregivers with the most comprehensive and current information and resources; caring support and services to help them live their lives to the fullest; and top-quality medical care at our ALS Association Certified Treatment Centers and Clinics.

(This is the first article in a five-part series highlighting the 2018 recipients of The ALS Association Heroes of Hope Awards.) Mike Maloney is one of the reasons we provide care services to people living with ALS, advocate for legislation that greatly impacts the quality of life of those living with the disease, and fund research toward treatments and a cure for ALS.
Since 2019, the ALS Roundtable Program has served as a forum for candid, facilitated discussions that focus on finding ways to make ALS a livable disease until we can cure it.
The ALS Association is committed to advancing critical policies that help to find new treatments and cures, optimize current treatments and care, and prevent or delay the harms associated with ALS. State policymakers have the power to change the future of ALS by taking action on The ALS Association’s public policy priorities.
