Congress has voted to pass the Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act! Now the bill is on its way to the President’s desk. Use this action to thank your Senators and Representatives who voted for the bill: iamals.org/e-dole-thank-y…
Lara Garey cared for her husband Tom, an Air Force Veteran, throughout his ALS until his death in 2022. She gave a speech last year at an event for Texas Veterans where she beautifully explained the impact that caregiving had on her and her family. youtube.com/watch?v=Uh26FD…
So many people worked to see this bill move forward. I'm so happy to know we are almost across the finish line. It has been an exciting, frustrating, eye-opening process, but truly knowing what this bill will do for my community.....worth it! Thank you everyone!

The Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act has PASSED in the House of Representatives! To everyone who worked tirelessly to garner support for this bill: this victory is yours. Now onto the Senate!
Not gonna lie, sitting here crying hearing the Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Act being discussed on the House floor and knowing in this moment veterans and their caregivers are not only seen but heard. Removing the 65%cap is a game changer for those like my family. @DoleFoundation
"The Dole Act will fix that" Rep Boast. Absolutely. The time is now, and the Dole Act will fix so much!! @DoleFoundation @iamalsorg @MaryHahnWard @Schwab_S
"Breaking news: tonight the House of Representatives will vote on the Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act! Take a moment to remind House members one more time why the ALS community needs this bill to pass! iamals.org/elizabeth-dole…"
Lara's husband Tom Garey was an Air Force veteran, and he was diagnosed with ALS at 47 years old. Among tons of other advocacy, Lara co-leads the Veterans Team at I AM ALS in Tom's memory. We love you, Lara! #CallingAllCaregivers Read more of Lara's story: iamals.org/stories/lara-g…
If you're a Veteran who has been diagnosed with ALS, you have numerous resources available to you through the VA. The Veterans Team created this checklist to help you get all the benefits you are entitled to from the VA. iamals.org/wp-content/upl…
This Veterans Day, we thank all Veterans for their service, with special appreciation for those who are now living with ALS. ALS is considered a 100% service-connected disease. #VetswithALS #VeteransDay
The Elizabeth Dole Home Care Act, if passed, would remove a cap on home care spend for Veterans, which would allow more Veterans living with ALS to stay in their homes rather than care facilities. Tell your elected officials to support this bill: iamals.org/action/elizabe…
On my back to ATX from Belize and looky-looky @bsw5020 and his documentary No Ordinary Campaign. The reach and education of ALS is expanding. Thank you, Brian and @sabrevaya, for pushing ALS into the spotlight. #fuALS #ALSveterans #Tomstroops

Senator Bob Dole had a goal to help at least one person every day. To honor his legacy, on what would’ve been his 101st birthday, we spent yesterday serving our community. ❤️
