On May 8th, staff from The ALS Association, Michigan Chapter, volunteers and families will join others from around the country in Washington D.C. for National ALS Advocacy Day. They will spend three days in Washington, learning more about legislative needs for ALS, being updated on the latest happenings in ALS research, and meeting other ALS advocates working towards a cure.

On Tuesday, May 10th, they will "head to the Hill", sharing the stories of constituents at home with their Senators and Congressmen and asking them to support ALS research and the National ALS Registry. The most effective tool these dedicated advocates can take with them is YOUR STORY! It is so important that our legislators see that ALS has a face and is effecting the people they represent.

We need your help to advocate for ALS. Please, share your story with our Chapter, and ask your family and friends to do the same. You can email your story to us at kristen@alsa-michigan.org. Thank you!
