Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
A
Als
gradually
paralyzes
those
affected
as
the
brain
stops
being
able
to
communicate
with
the
muscles
of
the
body
on
top
of
the
overwhelming
physical
and
emotional
burden.
British
colombians
diagnosed
with
als
also
deal
with
hidden
challenges
like
financial
costs
as
the
expense
of
treatment,
care
equipment
and
lost
income
can
cost
families
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
and
als
has
no
cure
yet,
and
that's
where
we
come
in
while
june
is
about
raising
awareness.
A
It
is
also
about
honoring
and
supporting
organizations
like
the
als
society
of
bc,
and
I
want
to
mention
stephanie
marshall
white,
who
is
part
of
that
organization,
has
courageously
shared
the
story
of
the
loss
of
her
own
mom.
Other
organizations
like
als
action,
canada,
who
help
to
give
a
voice
to
people
living
with
als
it
funds,
research
and
strives
every
day
to
find
a
cure
and
end
als
once
and
for
all.
A
This
month,
landmarks,
including
the
iconic
mr
pg
in
prince
george,
will
be
lit
up
with
the
color
purple
to
show
support
for
als
awareness
month,
and
we
can
all
do
our
part
by
volunteering
or
raising
awareness
in
our
own
communities
with
groundbreaking
initiatives
like
project
hope
on
the
horizon.
For
british
columbians
with
als.
There
is
optimism
for
the
future.
I
know
that
all
members
will
want
to
join
me
this
month
in
recognizing
als,
so
we
can
help
find
a
cure
and
create
a
world
where
als
is
no
longer.
