Moving forward

Water can move. People can move, too. But those with ALS loose the ability to move as their motor neurons die and their muscles cease functioning. The disease is always fatal.

Join the fight against ALS by contributing to research today. And it’s not just ALS—breakthroughs for one neurodegenerative disease will unlocks clues to the others.
