May is ALS Awareness Month

In order to find answers about ALS, participation is crucial. The National ALS Registry helps connect people who are living with the disease to researchers looking for answers. This helps researchers learn more about what causes ALS and look for better treatments. Learn more about how we can all fight ALS together at cdc.gov/als.
