ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is a progressive disease affecting the brain and spinal cord, causing muscle weakness that impacts movement, speech, swallowing, and breathing. While there is no cure, treatments and assistance can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. ALS is also known as MND (Motor Neurone Disease) and Lou Gehrig's Disease.
