This week, Mike and Jeremy turn their focus to ALS Focus, a survey platform that brings the needs and perspectives of people living with ALS to the center of our fight. They are joined by Dr. Sarah Parvanta, director of ALS Focus, and John Robinson and Lora Pollari-Welbes, two members of the ALS Focus advisory committee, to walk us through what we learned from the first survey and how listeners can get involved.
