"4 ALS Awareness" Brings Opportunity and Hope in the Fight Against ALS

The ALS Association is honored to be a part of the 4 ALS Awareness initiative as we come together on July 4 to bring attention to the critical need for funding research into Lou Gehrig's Disease. The inspirational story of Baseball's "Iron Man" serves as a beacon that lights The ALS Association's path forward in our quest to develop new therapies and find a cure for the disease that bears his name. As we highlight this tremendous cause in ballparks across our nation, people with ALS and families who are courageously battling ALS are supported by scientists across the world whose work is funded and directed by The Association.
