Help Advocate for ALS

with Amanda Stevens, Mayuri Saxena, & Sandra Abrevaya

ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a neurodegenerative disease that attacks the cells of the nervous system and the brain. Most people who get diagnosed have a life expectancy of only 2-5 years on average.  There are currently promising treatments in late trial stages that give hope to patients suffering from this horrific disease, but most people cannot access these treatments.  Advocates, including my guests in this episode, are fighting to get medicine in bodies and increase funding for research.  We’ll learn the personal stories and struggles of a couple people battling ALS and how we can help advocate on their behalf.
