The ALS Association

The ALS Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurological disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and paralysis. The association focuses on funding research for treatments and a cure, providing support and resources for patients and their families, and raising awareness about ALS. Through advocacy and community engagement, the organization aims to improve the quality of life for those affected by the disease and to promote policies that support ALS research and care initiatives.
