Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that slowly robs a person of the ability to walk, speak, swallow and, eventually breathe. With no known cause or cure, a person can expect to live typically 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis. Leading the way in global ALS research, the ALS Association works on enhancing quality of life and encouraging hope while aggressively pursuing new treatments and cures.  Join them for the SuperHero Dash to support their efforts.
