Giving a Face to ALS

"I sit here filled with hope. Why? Because we can actually cure ALS. How? By fully and boldly funding the fight against ALS."
Brian Wallach, co-founder of I AM ALS, testified before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies on Tuesday, March 9th, 2019.

Thank you so much Brian. My husband was diagnosed with ALS on 12/30/19. He's weaker today than yesterday. And he will be weaker tomorrow than today. Thanks again Brian. We love you.

My beloved father was diagnosed with ALS in July of 2018. Today he cannot use his arms or hands and is barely able to stand. We are thankful at this point that we are able to understand his disappearing voice and that he is able to still enjoy eating. The simple things we take for granted, blowing your nose, itching an ear, or simply using the restroom are robbed from anyone diagnosed with this horrific disease. From riches to rags, my father 's journey is encompassed by loss. I am truly grateful to you Brian for giving ALS a face. A loved one, a husband, a father.....I too am filled with hope that you are a catalyst in completing the journey for a cure! As his children struggling to accomplish daily care and needs leaves little time to advocate for a cure. Thank you so much Brian and stay alive as long as you can because a cure is right around the corner.!!!!!

Thank you Brian for all you have done! Tomorrow will be one year since my diagnosis. I have hope because of you. I don't think I truly ever understood the meaning of the word hope until now. You are an incredible person and the entire ALS community is forever in your debt. It seems to me that the ball you began rolling is starting to "snowball" now. You are a true inspiration. Thank you!
