What is ALS?

Currently, ALS is a 100% fatal disease with no cure. But you can help us change that!

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (or ALS for short) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. This brutal disease kills the motor neurons that help send messages throughout the body, causing paralysis and eventually death. 

This brutal disease has been destroying families for over 150 years, but the tables have started to turn. We are finally starting to gain traction in this fight. We are unlocking secrets and making discoveries at an exciting pace. For the first time in decades, there is hope on the horizon.
