ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is a progressive disease that attacks the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and loss of control. This impacts movement, speech, swallowing, and breathing. Though there's no cure yet, treatments and support can help manage symptoms and enhance quality of life.
ALS is also known as MND (Motor Neurone Disease) in some parts of the world.
