Many of my friends and family want to donate but they are experiencing financial difficulties because of COVID-19. Why is June the best time to do this?
If your family and friends are not able to donate this year, they can do their part in raising awareness by sharing our posts on social media or telling their network about this cause. June is ALS Awarness month, we will be moving during the month of June to raise awareness and funds for people living with ALS. More than ever, it is important to show up for the ALS community because they are feeling afraid and alone. We will have a unified voice for the ALS community, and they can help to amplify our message.
