Today, June 21, the World ALS Awareness Day is celebrated. This date is of vital importance as it seeks to raise visibility and awareness about this disease, which poses a huge challenge for those who suffer from it and their families.
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. ALS patients experience muscle weakness that can become completely disabling, affecting their ability to move, speak, eat, and breathe.
In this regard, the Herencia City Council believes it is essential to raise awareness of this reality and increase social understanding of the daily struggles faced by the patients and their families. Therefore, we join this cause by illuminating our town in green, the color that symbolizes the fight against ALS.
Through this gesture, Herencia seeks to send a message of solidarity and commitment to those who are fighting this tough disease. The green illumination of our municipality is a reminder to everyone of the importance of staying informed, committed, and supportive in the fight against ALS.
On this important day, we call on all citizens to join the cause, to stay informed, and to contribute, to the extent possible, to the fight against ALS. It is essential to combine efforts to improve the quality of life for affected individuals and advance research on this devastating disease.
