Congress must pass legislation to fund the government by Oct. 1 to prevent a shutdown. Federally funded research into ALS is critical to develop new treatments and finding a cure. Specifically for the 2025 budget, we are asking for: ✅ $80 million for the Department of Defense ALS Research Program ✅ $160 million for the National Institutes of Health ✅ $100 million for the ACT for ALS ✅ $15 million for the National ALS Registry and Biorepository Your Members of Congress need to hear from you TODAY about the importance of funding ALS research: https://lnkd.in/dZxwHrTB #ALSAdvocacy #FundALSResearch

"Hi everyone, my name is Judge and I work at Jacksonville Sheriff's Office as a police horse! I was named after Assistant Sheriff Jimmy Judge who passed away from ALS in 2023. A few days ago, I had the great opportunity to join my friends Jacksonville Jaguars and the Jaguar Foundation at the Jacksonville CEO Soak. It is an honor to be named after Jimmy and join everyone in raising awareness for ALS!" - Judge the Horse. #MyALSStory #CEOSoak
