Why We Still Need More ALS Awareness
Did you know that May has been ALS Awareness Month for the past 30 years? Yes, that’s right, 30 years.
When Dagmar Munn was diagnosed with ALS at the age of 59 in 2010, she tapped into her nearly 30 years of professional health and wellness experience. She not only follows her own advice but also inspires and teaches others to do the same. In addition to her columnist role, she is one of the moderators for the ALS News Today Forums and writes a personal blog called “ALS and Wellness.” (https://alsandwellness.blogspot.com/2015/01/welcome.html) She lives with her husband in Green Valley, Arizona, enjoying finding humor in life’s situations and spending free time pursuing creative projects in fiber arts.
