Who We Are?I have had ALS since early 2014. From then until now I have met many people, both in person and virtually, some diagnosed years ago and some just recently . Our Mission and Vision, the reasons Help ALS Speak exists right now, and our growing ability to help people get past some barriers of the disease was born through these interactions. The largest single barrier that many people talk about is the loss of speech. Simply put, the ability to speak through artificial means would have made a significant difference in their lives. We are here to help make that happen.
