ALS Network

Navigating ALS means navigating everyday moments with care, safety, and confidence. That’s why the ALS Network is proud to partner with Your ALS Guide to launch the ALS Transfer Video Series - a new resource designed to help individuals and caregivers manage daily transitions with greater ease. From bed transfers to vehicle access, each video provides practical, real-world guidance for safer movement. Because support should meet you in every moment: alstransfervideos.org

BREAKING NEWS: On the first day of #ALSAwarenessMonth the Senate version of the ACT for ALS Reauthorization Act (S.4472) has officially been introduced. This bipartisan legislation would help build on the progress being made to accelerate ALS research, expand access to investigational therapies, and strengthen the infrastructure helping move promising research and treatments forward. Reauthorizing ACT for ALS means continuing to invest in what is working and ensuring we do not miss this moment when we are on the cusp of real breakthroughs. Tell Congress to support the ACT for ALS Reauthorization Act: alsnetwork.quorum.us/campaign/15285…

Some of the hardest moments in ALS aren’t the big ones, they’re the everyday ones. Getting out of bed. Using the bathroom. Moving safely from place to place. Together with Your ALS Guide, we’ve created the ALS Transfer Video Series to help make those moments safer, easier, and more manageable for individuals and caregivers alike. Because no one should navigate ALS alone: alstransfervideos.org
