AEW's Rebel has received a notable update in her ALS advocacy work. Congress approved the reauthorization of the ACT for ALS, advancing the effort.
The 2026 legislation extends key research and treatment access programs through 2031. That longer timeline gives advocates and programs a defined period to continue their focus on ALS.
People living with ALS, their families, researchers, and clinicians may be affected if the extended programs support continued research and treatment access. The longer timeline could offer stability for advocacy and treatment access efforts. Rebel's wrestling platform may also help keep ALS visible to combat-sports audiences.
