About National ALS Awareness Month in Canada
Lifestyle , Canada
Ends: Jun 30, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
June is ALS month in Canada.
ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is neurodegenerative and fatal. The disease affects the nerve cells (motor neurons) that control a person’s muscles. As neurons deteriorate, the brain loses the ability to start and control voluntary muscle movement, which is why people with ALS often lose the ability to speak: The disease slowly paralyzes its victims, eventually taking away the ability to breathe.
ALS was first discovered in 1869 by French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot. It would be another 70 years before most people heard of the disease. In 1939 Lou Gehrig ended his career due to it.
The blue cornflower represents optimistic hope for the future and is the official symbol for ALS/MND.
