In light of the recent and unexpected passing of our longtime host, Jeremy Holden, Connecting ALS is taking a pause to regroup. During this time, we’ll be revisiting impactful past episodes that continue to resonate with the ALS community.
In this episode, which originally aired on June 9th, 2022, Jeremy talks to Dr. Neil Thakur, Chief Mission Officer at The ALS Association, and Melanie Lendnal, the Association’s senior vice president of policy and advocacy, about the role of advocacy, and how’s it’s central to the fight for improving the lives of people living with ALS.
