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.
