What Is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis?

A Progressive Neurodegenerative Disease

The Cure For ALS Fund is an organization based in Bryn Athyn, PA with a mission to raise funds to find a cure for ALS. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. A person with this ailment will lose the ability to initiate and control muscle movements. Although the patient’s 5 senses will not be affected, he or she may experience paralysis and respiratory failure in the later stages of the disease.
