ALS United of Georgia Essentials

We are heartbroken by the loss of Brooke Eby, a remarkable voice in the ALS community. Brooke invited hundreds of thousands of people into the reality of living with ALS with honesty, vulnerability and a sense of humor that was entirely her own. She made people laugh, she made people listen, and she helped so many understand the realities of living with ALS. Her voice reached far beyond her own community, and her impact will continue to be felt by people living with ALS, their families, and all of us working toward a future without this disease. Our hearts are with Brooke’s family, friends and everyone who loved her. 💙 @limpbroozkit photo by Gesi Schilling for nytimes

For the past 10 years, Team Battle has walked in honor of their dear friend, Lyvonne Battle. Diagnosed with ALS in 2016, Lyvonne asked of Stacy and the other members of Team Battle only one thing: to keep walking—to continue raising awareness and supporting families affected by ALS. A decade later, they’re still keeping that promise. Thank you, Team Battle, for reminding us that love, hope, and friendship can carry us forward. 💙 #WalkALS #WhyIWalk #TeamBattle #ALSUnited #EndALS

We did it. The Senate has passed the ACT for ALS Reauthorization Act, completing congressional action and sending the legislation to the President for signature. This moment belongs to the ALS community. People living with ALS, families, caregivers, advocates, researchers, clinicians, and ALS United member organizations worked for years to help make reauthorization possible. ALS United of Georgia was proud to be part of this effort. ALS United members brought more than 50 advocates to Capitol Hill for Hill Day and met with lawmakers in their home districts, while ALS United organized a congressional briefing and met with House and Senate committees throughout the reauthorization process. Thank you to everyone who shared their experiences, contacted lawmakers, joined advocacy efforts, and helped carry this effort forward. Together, we got ACT for ALS across the finish line. #ACTforALS #ALSAdvocacy #ALSUnited #TogetherWeEndALS
