    Artist Robert Genn once said, “Art is a form of love. Art is the ultimate gift. Art heals life.” Art is also a force that is alive and well in the ALS community. ALS can be an incredibly confining disease, both emotionally and physically, but art can transcend these confines. Art can provide healing from the emotional scars of ALS and be a means of expression when other means are taken away. In…

    I AM ALS is appalled by Cigna’s decision to not cover an FDA approved treatment for ALS that extends functionality and life. Cigna needs to immediately reverse this decision. People living with ALS deserve better and don’t have time to wait while battling an always fatal disease. We created this form that will tweet for you and tag your senators and representatives so they know that Cigna’s…

    • This rating system is huge. It is a system that should be used and understood throughout ALS Land. It sets the rules for ALS trials that people living with ALS expect and deserve. We should talk about it with sponsors every chance we get. https://t.co/qYXGnICDCI.

    In 2022, we lost a lot of incredible people to ALS, and it’s been really hard. Our hearts are broken. As we move forward and work to heal from these difficult losses, we seek to honor those who passed, because we were lucky enough to meet and know some incredible people who will always mean so much to us. With this feeling, we would like to pay tribute to those we lost this year.  We are…
