The ALS Association combines global research, public policy and outreach, and family and patient care services to be the leader in the fight to end ALS.
Margot Vaughan has been fighting ALS for more than two years. But she hasn’t been fighting alone. “My family is totally devoted to me,” Margot said. “They keep me going and I’m lucky and grateful to have such an amazing family by my side.”
The YCare youth caregiving training program was developed to meet the needs of young caregivers who care for the adult in their life living with ALS. At the International Alliance of ALS/MND Association meeting in late 2022, the creators of the YCare program and a team of local experts presented on how they are translating the YCare program, in some cases quite literally, for use in South Africa.
The ALS Association invites clinicians, researchers, health care professionals, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students to submit your abstracts for poster proposals for consideration by May 8. We will alert the primary author by June 7 if your poster is selected.
ALS Nexus brings together leaders in the ALS community to connect, collaborate, and change the future of ALS. This is more than a conference – it’s an opportunity to spark new ideas and accelerate progress towards our goal of making ALS a livable disease until we can cure it.
Every May, our community comes together to raise awareness and understanding about those living with ALS, show our support for families and care workers and honor those who dedicate their lives to finding a cure.
The Chapter's Equipment Loan Closet makes used and donated medical equipment available to persons living with ALS. If you have medical equipment to donate, please view the Equipment Donation Page and fill out the Equipment Donation Form.
