flag Canadians urge $50M federal funding for ALS research and trial access to avoid falling behind globally.

flag Canadians living with ALS, caregivers, and advocates are urging the federal government to commit $50 million over five years to advance research and ensure nationwide access to clinical trials. flag They warn that without immediate investment, Canada risks falling behind global leaders, losing critical health data, and excluding patients—especially in rural and underserved areas—from life-saving studies. flag The push supports expanding national initiatives like CAPTURE and the Canadian Neuromuscular Disease Registry, aiming to strengthen data sovereignty and broaden trial access. flag With nearly 4,000 Canadians affected by the fatal disease, advocates stress that time is critical and that federal action is essential to maintain Canada’s role in global ALS innovation. flag Over 40 delegates are meeting with MPs and senators to push for leadership and funding.
