May is ALS awareness month, and since Amramp works with so many individuals and families who have been affected by this disease, we want to recognize all the work that advocates are doing to find a cure.

ALS, short for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, is a neurological disease that causes muscle weakness and impacts the way our bodies physically function. Only 5% of ALS cases are familial, meaning that the disease was inherited genetically. This means that 95% of ALS cases are sporadic. It can affect anyone, anywhere.

Sept 12th proved to be a great day for the ALS association of Northern New England. The day marked their annual “ALS Walk” fundraiser event. The ALS Association depends on these events to raise funds and to help increase awareness of “Lou Gehrig’s” disease. The funds that the ALS is able to raise are vital to important cutting-edge research and their patient service programs. The ALS association of Northern New England was happy to announce that they raised $77,000 from this important event. More information on the ALS association can be found here.
