Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Over time, ALS causes the motor neurons responsible for voluntary muscle movement to deteriorate and die, leading to muscle weakness, paralysis, and eventually, the inability to speak, eat, move, or breathe. Despite decades of research, there is no known cure, and most individuals with ALS face a life expectancy of 2 to 5 years after diagnosis. While some people experience slower progression, the disease is universally devastating, impacting not just the person diagnosed, but also their family, friends, and caregivers.

Raising awareness and funding for ALS research and treatment is crucial because time is a luxury that people with ALS don’t have. Increased funding drives innovation in treatments, improves access to care and assistive technologies, and fuels the global search for a cure. Awareness helps break the isolation and stigma often experienced by those living with the disease, builds compassion, and inspires advocacy. Every dollar donated and every conversation started brings us one step closer to new treatments, better support systems, and ultimately, hope for a world without ALS.
