In addition, Chumillas, has indicated that "this year, the entities of the ELA Community have launched the wELApop Campaign 'If you cannot live your life, sell it', to vindicate to the public administrations that all people suffering from ALS Regardless of where they live, they are guaranteed all the necessary care for a better quality of life.

It should be remembered that Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that progressively paralyzes the muscles of the body until causing death.
It is declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the most cruel diseases, the cause of which is unknown.
A disease that quickly confines the person in full consciousness in her own body, preventing any voluntary movement such as talking, swallowing, moving, walking and, finally, breathing.
In Spain, every day, three new cases of ALS are diagnosed and three people die from this disease.
