Can you believe it's been 10 years since the Ice Bucket Challenge? As we reflect on this milestone and celebrate ALS Awareness Month, it's incredible to see how far we've come together.
Before the Ice Bucket Challenge, the lack of ALS awareness only added to the struggle that individuals and their families face.
When the Ice Bucket Challenge happened, people knew what ALS was. It had a ripple effect, increasing care, support, and services.
Communities rallied together, creating a surge in awareness and compassion like never before. Families affected by ALS found their voices amplified, and support poured in from all corners.
Because of the generosity and kindness from this community, we’ve been able to expand access to vital assistance programs and add new services to offer much-needed support and hope to families facing this relentless disease. Before the Ice Bucket Challenge there were often extensive waiting lists for essential equipment like mobility aids and communication devices. With increased funding, we've been able to invest in areas that will have immediate impact, like providing individuals with the equipment they need to maintain their independence.
But our work is far from over. Despite the progress we've achieved over the past decade, there are still many hurdles to overcome. As we strive to see more support for families living with ALS, we invite you to join us in our mission.
