About Lou Gehrig's Disease
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating, progressive neuromuscular disease.

• ALS is NOT rare.  Globally, 350,000 people have it at any given time.

• Each of us has a 1 in 1,000 chance of developing ALS. Every 90 minutes another person is diagnosed with ALS.

• ALS paralyzes the body but leaves the mind intact.

• In can take up to a year to diagnosis ALS and patients live on average 2-to-5 years from diagnosis.

• There is no cure, no effective treatment for ALS.
