Global ALS/MND Awareness Day webinar

June 21, 2024 – 10:00 AM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

On June 21, Global ALS/MND Awareness Day, we’ll be holding a public webinar, moderated by our Chair, Calaneet Balas, to explore the impact of the Ice Bucket Challenge, and how it raised the profile of the ALS/MND and led to significant advancements in care, advocacy and research.

We’ll share the history over the past 10 years of how the Challenge helped on a global scale. You’ll hear from Nancy Frates, mother of Pete Frates, one of the individuals credited with starting the Ice Bucket Challenge. You’ll also hear from member organizations about the impacts they’ve seen both locally and globally.

Finally, we’ll be debuting our member Ice Bucket Challenge video, showcasing members participating in the challenge around the world to spread HOPE to every corner!
