A Lasting Strength

A Lasting Strength Helping people change what it means to be living with ALS. It is a rolling killer, and so the patient population is constantly changing.

ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Control of voluntary muscles is progressively lost, and patients generally perish due to complications of respiratory insufficiency. Approximately 30,000 people in the United States are fighting ALS, and 5,000 people are diagnosed each year. This makes it so difficu

lt to diagnose and develop a cure. Although the disease is more common in men who are over 60 years old, ALS can strike anyone, at any age. Why A Lasting Strength? - ALS robs its victims of physical strength, but not their mental or spiritual strength. We chose this name to change what ALS takes away into a force of hope and extra-physical strength. Read or listen to the stories of those who live with and have fought ALS, and you can see they all have something in common: a lasting strength. Working towards a world without ALS is possible. It is not incurable, it is underfunded. Your support and contributions are appreciated!
