Donate to the Cure & Care of ALS

Donation Goal: $100,000

The Harpoon 5-Miler raises funds for the cure and care of ALS through our amazing partners at The Angel Fund for ALS Research and the Peter Frates ALS Foundation.

The Angel Fund for ALS Research is an independent nonprofit charity benefiting ALS research at the Cecil B. Day Laboratory for Neuromuscular Research at UMASS Medical School in Worcester. 
 
Dr. Robert H. Brown, Jr. and his team at UMass Medical School are working on amazing cutting-edge research turning off mutant genes that cause ALS and bringing the research to HUMAN TRIALS. There has never been such promising research than that which is happening right now in the lab. So much is being done with innovative approaches toward a treatment.

ALS is a progressive and ultimately fatal neurological disease that attacks the motor neurons in the brain, brain stem and spinal cord. The resulting motor neuron loss causes increasingly debilitating paralysis as the muscles of the body waste away. Death comes when victims lose critical functions such as the ability to swallow and ultimately, to breathe. ALS is particularly insidious because the intellect remains intact while ALS victims gradually lose the ability to control their muscles, to communicate, and eventually to breathe. There is no known cure for ALS, and death usually occurs in 2 to 5 years.

If your company does matching donations the information for that is: 'Angel Fund, Inc.' and the 501-c3 Federal ID 04-3478977

Thank you for any help you can provide in our fight against this devastating disease. For more information, please visit www.theangelfund.org.

 

The Peter Frates ALS Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by ALS by providing essential patient care, supporting innovative research for a cure, and educating communities to drive awareness and action. Through critical fundraising and advocacy, we accelerate progress in the fight to end ALS.

A former Captain of the Boston College baseball team and professional baseball player in Europe, Pete Frates was diagnosed with ALS in March of 2012, at the age of 27. Since his diagnosis, Pete has enjoyed the strength and support of his family and new bride, Julie. Pete and Julie were married in June of 2013, and together they, as well as his whole family, have taken an active role in raising awareness and funds for ALS research.

The Peter Frates ALS Foundation is a 501c3 non profit established to financially assist ALS patients with the enormous financial burden of out-of-pocket costs associated with home health care. As the patient progresses on their ALS journey, these out of pocket expenses grow exponentially. Our assistance will help to allow these patients to stay in their homes, where they belong,  surrounded by the warmth, hope, and support of their loved ones.
