ALS Society of Canada
ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrigs disease, is a rapidly progressive and fatal neuromuscular disease that causes the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The ALS Society of Canada, founded in 1977, is the only national voluntary health organization dedicated solely to the fight against ALS and support for those living with ALS. The Society funds research towards a cure for ALS and supports our provincial partners in the provision of quality care for those living with ALS.
