May is AS Awareness Month, a time dedicated to educating the public about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)—a progressive neurodegenerative disease that impacts

movement, speech, and breathing. ALS doesn’t discriminate; it affects people across all backgrounds, and its impact ripples through families, workplaces, and entire communities.Recognizing ALS Awareness Month in your organization supports disability inclusion, encourages compassionate workplace practices, and empowers people to learn, act, and advocate for research and equity in healthcare.

💡 Celebrate Inclusively:
One way to honor ALS Awareness Month is by hosting a virtual Lunch & Learn with a guest speaker from an ALS organization or someone with lived experience. It’s a meaningful way to build empathy and understanding in your team.
