Today, on Global ALS Awareness Day, we take a moment to honor the incredible ALS community that inspires us to learn and grow every day. We have learned a lot over the last eleven and a half years. ALS is not a one size fits all disease. Every individual and family are unique. We consider ourselves fortunate to have found partners who share our commitment to empowering individuals with ALS to maintain independence at home, navigate the world with functionality, and cherish their loved ones.
