How You Can Help

Our mission is very powerful: Leading the fight to treat and cure ALS through global research and nationwide advocacy while also empowering people with Lou Gehrig's Disease and their families to live fuller lives by providing them with compassionate care and support.  We will not rest until an effective treatment and, ultimately, a cure is found.

As important as research is, we must not neglect the needs of those living with ALS today. We have a number of important programs and services available to help ALS patients and their families cope with the day-to-day challenges that confront them. We offer respite care, transportation, durable medical equipment, communication equipment, nearly 100 support group meetings each year, a video and book library, and we support three ALS clinics in our coverage area.

The ALS Association – Jim “Catfish” Hunter Chapter works diligently to make sure all ALS patients receive the best possible care and support. With your support, we will be one step closer to finding a cause and cure for this disease while providing the necessary services to those living with and fighting ALS.

We look forward to your help in finding a cure for this disease.
