Dear Friend,
ALS is a global problem. It does not discriminate by age, ethnicity, or social demographic.
Today, The ALS Association joins the International Alliance of ALS/MND Associations in recognizing June 21 as Global Awareness Day. ALS, or Motor Neurone Disease (MND) as it is known in countries like Great Britain and Australia, affects an estimated 420,000 people worldwide each year.
Tell the world that ALS is a global problem and we need help to find the cure!
Please use #alswithoutborders when you spread ALS awareness today.

Thank you for your commitment to the fight!
Sincerely,

Executive Director
Greater Philadelphia Chapter
P.S. -- The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge enables scientists to collaborate globally, accelerating the path to a cure. Project MinE <https://www.alsphiladelphia.org/page.redir?target=http%3a%2f%2fwww.alsa.org%2fnews%2fvision-express%2farticles%2fjune-2015%2fproject-mine.html&srcid=42444&srctid=1&erid=8563108&trid=ad58c2c2-cd04-4a80-8d0c-fce1507af651> is one new global research project that would not have been made possible without YOUR participation in The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The goal of the project is to sequence the whole genome of at least 15,000 people with ALS -- a sample that the research community is hopeful will lead to new discoveries about the cause of ALS. THANK YOU!
