Together we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS. Often referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe.

Why We Need Your Help

Team Gene Genies is walking in honor of Mary Luper (a person living with ALS) and her sister Ann Ellis White and their grandmother, mother and brother whom they have lost to ALS. 

The ALS Association is the only national non-profit organization fighting Lou Gehrig’s Disease on every front.  By leading the way in global research, providing assistance for people with ALS through a nationwide network of chapters, coordinating multidisciplinary care through certified clinical care centers, fostering government partnerships, and providing patients with grants to help with expenses.

Thank you so much,

Tony and Mary Luper
