Over the past two years, The ALS Community has rallied around the summer anthem of “Every August Until a Cure.” We know that we must fight ALS not just in August, but every month until we have a cure. The many ice bucket challenges remind us that every bucket of water makes a big splash that adds up to accomplish big things for ALS research and patient care. Read the latest news on the NEK1 gene discovery funded through your Ice Bucket dollars. <https://www.alsphiladelphia.org/page.redir?target=http%3a%2f%2falsadotorg.wordpress.com%2f2016%2f07%2f22%2fnek1-gene-announcement%2f&srcid=45193&srctid=1&erid=11763607&trid=9daf84c1-b7d7-4a1f-9cae-1b14c054c59f>
