What is ALS?

ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurological disease that is currently fatal. Every 90 minutes, someone is diagnosed with ALS. The average lifespan after the onset of symptoms is just 2 to 5 years. Your support can change that.

By joining the ALS ONE Polar Plunge, you can fund the work of several teams of medical professionals who are fighting to find a cure.
