Two Year Milestone for National ALS Registry

It's been two years since the federal government implemented the National ALS Registry. So many of you have enrolled in the Registry and provided resarchers with the information they need to further unlock the mysteries of Lou Gehrig's Disease. But 90 minutes from now, another person will be diagnosed with ALS. That's why we can never stop spreading awareness of the National ALS Registry and encourage those fighting this disease to enroll.

The National ALS Registry may be the single largest ALS research project ever created and is designed to identify ALS cases from throughout the entire United States. Most important, the Registry is collecting critical information about the disease that will improve care for people with ALS and help us learn what causes the disease, how it can be treated and even prevented.
The ALS Association led the fight to establish the National ALS Registry, working with Congress to enact the ALS Registry Act and secure federal funding to design, build and implement the National ALS Registry at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (CDC/ATSDR). 

If you haven't done so already, please enroll in the Registry today!

Sincerely,

Susan Woolner
Executive Director
