3 E verything that we do – from funding critical ALS research, to providing excellent care at our multidisciplinary clinics, to providing financial assistance through our grant program and emotional assistance through support groups, to educating healthcare providers and advocating for public policy changes – relies on the donations of our generous supporters. Because there’s not yet a cure for ALS, we must tirelessly and urgently pursue more research, more funding and a better quality of life for people living with this disease. We are committed to efficiency and transparency, and will continue to work hard to ensure that your donation will be used to bring the most help to as many people living with ALS as possible. We will not stop until there’s a cure.
