Did you know that 10% of people who are diagnosed with ALS inherit the disease through a mutated gene? This is called “familial” ALS (FALS). In those families, there is a 50% chance each child will inherit the gene mutation and could develop ALS.
In honor of ALS Awareness Month, we need people like YOU to continue share these facts and increase awareness about ALS and support for our ALS community.
Help us change the facts about ALS and share information about the Golden West Chapter (@alsagoldenwest) and our mission – to serve, advocate for, and empower people affected by #ALS to live their lives to the fullest – by liking, commenting, and sharing on social media using the links below!
