Can you believe it’s been eight months since the
#ALSIceBucketChallenge?! We are forever grateful for each and every person who
joined our cause last summer and for the loyal supporters who have been with us
for years. Because of you, our ALS community has renewed determination and hope
in leading the fight against this disease.
People all over the world donated more than $220 million to
ALS charities, with an incredible $115 million contributed to The ALS
Association during the Ice Bucket Challenge.
So, how is this money making a difference?
Check out this infographic that shows how your
support accelerates the discovery of effective treatments for ALS!
But our work is not over.
It can cost $2 billion
and take 15 years to develop one new drug. That’s why we are relying on you to
help keep the momentum – and progress – pushing forward.
May is ALS Awareness Month! We’ll be back in touch soon to
ask you to continue to lead the fight – to challenge
ALS – in your community this spring and all year long.
Together, we CAN make a difference in the quest to treat and
cure ALS.
Thank you!
