ALS Looks Like Me | ALS Therapy Development Institute

Help Spread Awareness

#ALSLooksLikeMe

The lifetime incidence of ALS is estimated to be 1 in 400, and it can impact anyone. We need your help to spread awareness of how differently ALS impacts individuals.

How to Participate:

Complete the short questionnaire below to share how ALS impacts you as a person living with ALS, or answer on behalf of a friend or loved one who is living with/lived with ALS.
When you submit the questionnaire, ALS TDI will email you your personalized image (be sure to check your spam folders).
Download your image and share it using #ALSLooksLikeMe.

We know that the impact of ALS on individuals and families goes far beyond what is conveyed here – but we hope that these short snapshots can help to increase awareness and understanding of the disease.
