We’re excited to announce the upcoming ALS Awareness Month event hosted by I AM ALS! This year, 6,000 flags will be placed on the National Mall to honor people living with ALS, people we’ve lost, and who carry the ALS gene.
We hope to see you there!

Wow what a breakthrough! Reversing muscle wasting for those who have ALS from the SOD1 gene? That’s outstanding. There’s hope still for others who carry different ALS genes 🙌
New Qalsody Results Bring Hope for Recovery of Lost Function and More Time Evidence is emerging that not only is functional improvement possible, it’s happening for some people with SOD1-ALS who have been treated with Qalsody® (tofersen).

At quick glance this looks like a pile of envelopes. It is actually SO much more than that. This pile of envelopes includes scholarship money being sent to various colleges for 13 different students who received a 2024/2025 scholarship from ALS in the Heartland via our Brad Meyer Memorial Scholarship Fund. All these students lives have been impacted by ALS. We sure hope every one of these students college lives are made easier because of this!

We’d like you to meet “Lou.” Lou was donated to us when the donor heard about our recordable stuffed animals on the news. Lou likes our new office where he has space to hold all of the recordable animals to be given out to capture a message or two before someone loses their voice to ALS. Lou is a very friendly addition to our new space!

Our Journey For Awareness
My name is Jenna Wennekamp and my dad passed away from ALS in 2011, when I was 13. Now that I am a little older, I have been able to jumpstart a team, called Wennekamp Walkers. We walk every year in the Walk to Defeat ALS in Lincoln, NE. My family has been a part of the ALS Walk for 9 years as of this year. I have started this page in remembrance of him, to keep in touch with those close to my dad, and to fight against the disease that took his life. My sisters, Jessica and Anna, and I will always be faced with growing up without our dad, and it is a struggle. No one should have to go through the loss of a beloved family member. I intend to keep fighting for a cure for the rest of my life so that we can get rid of ALS for good!
