Dr. Robert Farris Thompson at MoCADA

Turned a couple of corners to MoCADA on Thursday, where Dr. Robert Farris Thompson lectured to an at capacity conference room on Eschu as a bundle of human paradox; recognizing the conical point of Ashe all around us, particularly at crossroads; and having us say things like Doko Doko out loud and en mass!

Support the A.L.S. Strategy

The overall strategy is to raise significant funds and direct the majority of the funds raised to the collaborative efforts of world leading scientists.

Project A.L.S.™ relies on fundraising and support from an ever growing network of donors: corporate, foundation,and individuals.

Ours is a strategy of family: the larger the Project A.L.S.™ family, which includes donors, patients, loved ones, researchers, staff, doctors, and concerned citizens, the faster we’ll make progress in the war on ALS.
