Join the Quest

to Cure ALS Spread Hope Change Lives

OUR MISSION

Augie’s Quest was co-founded in 2005 by Augie Nieto, the successful fitness industry mogul behind Lifecycle and Life Fitness who was diagnosed with ALS in 2005.

Augie was a visionary leader dedicated to maintaining muscle strength, fitness and performance. He made his career building successful global businesses and driving modern day fitness forward, positively impacting millions of people.

Augie’s inexorable drive to work and achieve results is his legacy. His wife, Lynne, is leading the charge to fight ALS with the same drive and determination Augie showed. Together with the Augie’s Quest to Cure ALS Team, the way ALS research is funded is being transformed, approaching it in unprecedented ways. Most importantly, we’re seeing real results!

ALS is disease we can tackle; a problem we can solve. Every dollar we raise drives innovative science and research forward at an accelerated pace.
