What is ALS Awareness Month?
Every year during the month of May, ALS Awareness Month is recognized throughout the United States. It is also recognized in June in Canada. People from across the country unite to spread awareness of ALS and raise funds for disease research. The use of social media and the internet has helped increase awareness of the disease tremendously, as people can now access more information than ever and easily share knowledge throughout the month with those who may not know about ALS.
What is ALS Awareness Month to ALS TDI?
Every May, our mission is to show the strength of our community and share their voices with the world. In 2016, ALS TDI started the #InThreeWords campaign, where people with ALS, family and friends of someone with ALS, scientists, and everyone else in the ALS community are encouraged to share how they feel about ALS #InThreeWords. We received tons of photos, videos and posts from people across the globe sharing what ALS means to them. This year, we would love to hear from you! You can share your three words with us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using #InThreeWords.
