May is ALS Awareness month, ALS stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. ALS is “a progressive disease in which a person’s brain loses connection with the muscles, slowly taking away their ability to walk, talk, eat and eventually breathe.”
There is currently no cure for ALS, new treatments have been proven to slow progression but funding for more research and increasing advocacy and awareness is fundamental.
The ALS Association encourages wearing blue, sharing stories with , and participating in virtual and in-person events.
Receiving an ALS diagnosis is life changing and often comes fear, stress, and uncertainty about the future, especially when working may no longer be an option. At Nyman Turkish, we recognize how difficult this moment is and are here to support you in securing the benefits you deserve.
