What is ALS?

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that stikes an American every 90 minutes. And, every 90 minutes, we lose another American to it. People with ALS lose their ability to walk, speak, swallow, and breathe, yet in most cases the mind remains unaffected. ALS can strike anyone at any time.

What is The ALS Association?

Our mission...'To lead the fight to cure and treat ALS through global, cutting edge research, and to empower people with Lou Gehrig's Disease and their families to live fuller lives by providing them with compassionate care and support'.
