Our aim is to provide innovative, promising, focused projects with researchers who understand that collaboration is a powerful catalyst in ending the disease. | Cures | |
Project ALS | We identify and fund the most promising scientific and medical research that will lead to the first effective treatments and a cure for ALS. We recruit the world's best scientists and doctors to work together rationally and aggressively to develop a better understanding of the ALS disease process and, in parallel, better therapeutic strategies. | Cures | |
Project Main St. | We strive to improve the quality of life for people afflicted with ALS. We help both low and middle income individuals and families. We are committed to helping those who are experiencing financial challenges as a direct result of ALS. | Care | |
