Global Day Calendar

Every June 21, the world comes together for ALS/MND.

Global Day is a day to raise awareness of ALS/MND — a disease that affects people in every country around the world, regardless of race, ethnicity, income, or geography. For every person diagnosed, the impact is deeply felt by families, friends, and entire communities.

On Global Day, the ALS/MND community unites through awareness activities that symbolize hope for a future with better treatments, a cure, and ultimately, an end to ALS/MND. This year, that unity takes the form of a calendar created by and for the global ALS/MND community.

2027 ALS/MND Calendar: This Year, We Celebrate Caregivers.

2027 ALS/MND Caregiver CalendarBehind every person living with ALS/MND is someone who shows up — day after day — with compassion, strength, and love. Caregivers are the quiet force that makes living with this disease possible.

The 2027 ALS/MND Caregiver Calendar is a celebration of that extraordinary dedication. Featuring artwork and images submitted by the global ALS/MND community, this desktop calendar honours the caregiving journey in all its forms — and every calendar purchased helps fund participation by people with lived experience in ALS/MND events and programs.

Be Part of It: Submit Your Artwork

We are inviting the global ALS/MND community to contribute creative images that reflect the theme of caregiving. Whether you are a caregiver, a person living with ALS/MND, a family member, or a supporter — if you have an image that captures the spirit of caregiving, we want to see it.

What we’re looking for: Artwork, illustrations, digital art, photography, or abstract interpretations that reflect themes such as compassion, support, resilience, strength, love, and the caregiving journey. Images might represent caregiving through meaningful objects, environments, symbols, or artistic concepts.

Every submitted image will be featured in the calendar. The images receiving the highest public votes will appear most prominently, with the winning image receiving its own dedicated month. All other images will be featured in collages throughout the calendar.

How to submit: Artwork is submitted through your Alliance member association. If you are connected to an ALS/MND association in your country, please reach out to them to submit on your behalf. 

Submission deadline: May 4, 2026

How It Works

  • Submit: March 18–May 4 — Member associations submit artwork.
  • Vote: May 8–June 8 — The public votes for their favourites.
  • Celebrate: June 21 — We announced the winning images, reveal the calendar, and open pre-orders at £22 per calendar.

Last year, over 1,000 people cast more than 2,350 votes. Help us make 2026 even bigger — share this page with your community and encourage them to get involved.
