The ALS Association
ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. A-myo-trophic comes from the Greek language. "A" means no. "Myo" refers to muscle, and "Trophic" means nourishment - "No muscle nourishment." When a muscle has no nourishment, it "atrophies" or wastes away. Learn more here.

ALS - Muscular Dystrophy Association
The freedom to walk, to talk, to run and play. To laugh, to hug. To eat. To breathe. Each day across the country, ALS takes away these everyday freedoms - from mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, daughters and sons, and from our friends and community members. With our partners and supporters, MDA fights to free people and their families from the devastating effects of ALS, so they can live life to the fullest.
