It is with heavy hearts we share the news of the recent sudden passing of our colleague and Connecting ALS podcast host, Jeremy Holden. Jeremy was an amazing friend and coworker to so many and will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He was passionate about our mission, and made it a priority to help make a difference for the community we serve. His contributions to the Association and the families he touched will never be forgotten.

For this reason, Connecting ALS will be taking a pause while we mourn Jeremy’s loss. Thank you for your patience during this difficult time.
