After her ALS diagnosis, and as her disease progressed, the ALS Society of Quebec was there for my mother and our family. One call with a professional counsellor and we got all the support, advice, and information about the disease we could possibly need. And it was very reassuring to know we weren’t alone. The many services they provide, and their role in advancing research into the disease, create something we all need to get through a time like this: hope.
