A donor-advised fund is a charitable giving account that lets you set aside funds now and recommend grants to nonprofits you care about over time.
By recommending a grant to Project ALS, you can help support the collaborative research moving us closer to a future without ALS.

Meet Riley. This November, she will be taking to the streets of New York City with the rest of #TeamProjectALS at this year’s #NYCMarathon in honor of her grandmother, who lost her battle with #ALS.
Cheer Riley on and support her run here: bit.ly/4y9qfry! 📢

If you could ask an ALS researcher one question, what would it be?
Maybe it’s about a clinical trial, a specific gene, why some treatments work for some people and not others, or maybe your question is simply, “What’s taking so long?”

The Project ALS Therapeutics Core is studying protein toxicity—the protein clumps that form in neurons not only in #ALS, but all neurodegenerative diseases.
What we’re learning about protein toxicity at the Core informs drug discovery across these diseases.

We want to hear from those living with ALS: If you could save one part of yourself from the ravages of ALS, what would it be? This is a safe space for discussion, and there’s no right answer.

Just over a week ago, @isaacboots dedicated his Ice Bucket Challenge to Project ALS after the Hamptons got TORCH’D for ALS research! 🧊🔥
Thank you to everyone who broke a sweat and donated to help fund ALS research.

About 90% of people with ALS have no family history of the disease. The Project ALS Therapeutics Core is using AI to study samples from people with sporadic ALS, identify potential subtypes, and explore which targeted therapies may work for whom.

sorry we forgot our password.
we were also a bit busy continuing our mission of finding and funding a cure for #ALS.
anyway, we're back.

ALS affects motor neurons, the critical nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that enable movement. But these cells can’t be biopsied to study in a lab. So how can we investigate what is happening to a motor neuron inside a person living with #ALS?

...rely on for access to potential therapies.
We urge you to contact your local representatives—people living with ALS, and anyone affected by disease, deserve better.

While Project ALS research currently remains on track, it will be extraordinarily difficult to keep pace with our progress if the planned cuts to NIH become reality.
