Mission Statement

Our mission is to make ALS livable and cure it.

Description

We are the world's leading ALS organization made up of volunteers who are living with ALS, loved ones, caregivers, advocates and dedicated staff. Our goal is to make ALS livable for everyone everywhere until we can cure it.

On the ground in all 50 states we are providing support for people living with ALS and their loved ones while funding the most promising ALS research in the world. We are also leading local and national advocacy efforts to deliver more funding for ALS research and better policies for those impacted by the disease.

Thanks to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and the generous support of our donors we have been able to dramatically accelerate the fight against ALS by funding the development of new ALS treatments, by discovering new ALS genes, by creating new global research collaborations and by significantly expanding access to ALS care.


Our commitment is that every person with ALS, regardless of where they live should be able to access high-quality care and effective treatments.
