About #ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis)

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a rare, progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It leads to the gradual loss of voluntary muscle control, impacting the ability to move, speak, eat, and eventually breathe. There is currently no cure for ALS, and most people with the disease die from respiratory failure, typically within three to five years of symptom onset.
