How Do You #TakeABreath?
Breathing. It’s something that can easily be taken for granted. But for many people living with ALS, breathing can often be a daily challenge.
Our #TakeABreath campaign during ALS Awareness Month in May allows you to share how you “take a breath,” to recognize and honor the resiliency of people living with ALS.
Whether you bike, draw, meditate, read or more, turn your hobby and passion into an ALS Awareness Month fundraiser in support of those for whom breathing is a challenge. #TakeABreath with us in honor of ALS Awareness Month>>
