Athletes vs. ALS
Donate
Researchers have noticed that many athletes seem to develop ALS, but more research is needed to understand why. That’s why we support the ALS Therapy Development Institute’s ARC Study, which is aiming to enroll athletes with ALS to learn more about their history and experiences. By studying this group, we hope to find out why so many athletes are affected and discover treatments that can help them and everyone with ALS.
