but through marriage; three individuals all diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Families Unite Against ALS is a result of these three families coming together to promote ALS awareness, and to raise money to fund research in hopes of finding a cure.​​​​
We are a recognized 501(c)(3) organization.
To date, our foundation has raised and donated over $500,000 towards ALS research.
Families Unite Against ALS is completely driven by volunteers. ​
No salaries are paid, and all net profits are donated to ALS research.
If you are interested in joining our team as a volunteer,​​​​​​​​
or have any ideas of ways to improve or support our mission, please contact us.
