The Significance of Lou Gehrig Day and ALS Awareness.

Sarah Langs, a preeminent researcher in baseball, has become the present-day face of ALS after being diagnosed with the disease in 2021. Langs has become a leader in the ALS community, using her platform to advocate for ALS research. She has a #FistBumps4ALS initiative that encourages people to raise awareness for the disease by sharing photos of themselves and tagging others to spread the word. Langs knows she probably won’t see the cure for ALS in her lifetime, but she’s determined to raise funds to support the research it takes to find that cure, so others don’t have to have as devastating of an outlook as she has.
