SUMMARY:Participation in the National ALS Registry

Reshma will discuss how to join the National ALS Registry\, what information they collect and why\, and the type of research the registry is conducting\, while Janie will discuss her personal experience with the registry. A Q&A session will follow the discussion.     \nThe Les Turner ALS Foundation is proud to offer this webinar at no cost to the ALS community.
