ALS
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a disease that attacks the motor neurons, or nerve cells, in the brain and spinal cord. More commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, ALS is unpreventable, untreatable, and incurable. It’s as if your brain tells your body to do something but the nerves won’t pass on the message. Most often it takes away all mobility, and often the ability to speak, but it does not affect the mind. The average life span after diagnosis is 2-5 years.
Until the last few years, little progress had been made in unlocking the mysteries of ALS since it was first identified nearly 150 years ago. Without raising awareness and funding ALS will not receive the research necessary to find a cure, and will continue to strike down every person who is diagnosed.
We need your help in putting an end to ALS!
