Key Points

This resolution officially names May 2026 as ALS Awareness Month. It aims to bring attention to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a serious disease that affects the brain and spinal cord.
The resolution highlights that ALS is a fast-moving disease with no known cure. Most people live only two to five years after being diagnosed, and it can affect anyone regardless of their background.
It points out that military veterans are more likely to get ALS than people who did not serve in the military. About 15 people in the United States are diagnosed with the disease every single day.
The Senate expresses its support for helping patients get better care and treatments as early as possible. It also thanks the family members and caregivers who provide daily support to those living with the condition.
