ALS, the incurable disease also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a rapidly progressive, incurable neurological disease that attacks the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscles. As many as 30,000 Americans have ALS, and an estimated 5,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with the disease each year. There is no known cause of the disease.

SaVes4ALS Mission

Every SaVes4ALS event raises donations that help patients and families throughout the region cope with the day-to-day challenges of living with the disease.
