Thank you @jyduclos for supporting the ALS community as we kick off #ALSAwarenessMonth in Canada, and make our voices heard as we raise awareness about #ALS and its impact on the 3,000 Canadians and their families currently living with the disease.
June is ALS Awareness Month.
We are pleased to join Minister Duclos and @ALSCanada in raising awareness of this devastating disease and acknowledging all the researchers across Canada whose work will contribute to #aFutureWithoutALS.
