This disease is absolutely brutal. It is 100% fatal, and a terrible journey of losing autonomy and bodily function while your mind and soul remain completely unchanged. Persons with ALS (pALS) are trapped in a body that is slowly shutting down, with no reasonable hope for a cure.

Your support will help to:

• Further scientific progress by investing in the ALS Canada Research Program, whose work has the greatest potential to advance the field of ALS. There’s been more progress made in ALS research in the last five years than over the last century – we need to keep building on this momentum.
• Create a better day-to-day reality for people and families living with ALS by providing community-based support throughout Ontario – like home visits and support groups – as well as necessary medical equipment like hospital beds, wheelchairs, stairlifts and other items that increase safety in the home, at no cost to those who need them.
