Key Points
- The Senate officially named May 2025 as ALS Awareness Month. This move aims to bring more attention to a serious brain and spinal cord disease that currently has no cure.
- ALS causes muscles to weaken and eventually stop working. This affects how people move, speak, and breathe. Most people diagnosed with the disease live between two and five years after finding out they have it.
- The resolution points out that military veterans are more likely to get ALS than people who did not serve in the military. It also notes that about 15 people in the United States are diagnosed with the disease every single day.
- By passing this, the Senate promises to help patients get better medical care and support. It also honors the family members and caregivers who look after people living with the condition.
