Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is the most common degenerative disease of the adult motor system. It leads to progressive weakness, loss of muscle movement, and paralysis.

Our mission is to provide Care for patients and families with ALS, Education to our community, and Research towards a cure for ALS. We do this by funding the MDA/ALS Center of Hope at Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine; hosting educational events and seminars; and supporting the Dr. Robert Sinnott Research Laboratory at Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine.
