What is ALS?
Proceeds from Exhale Hope at Willow Springs will go toward the Christopher Chiu Fellowship for ALS research at the University of Toronto, Canada's largest and most internationally published ALS research lab.
ALS Double Play started when the Chiu family lost their son/brother Christopher to ALS in 2016 after a five year battle. Christopher was only 32 years old when he became sick with ALS and the family has no genetic relationship with the disease.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is the most common form of motor neuron disease. ALS is fatal; there is no cure and little treatment. Most people lose their battle with ALS within two to five years of diagnosis.
Living through the pandemic has been hard for many of us, now imagine living immunocompromised with ALS, relying on others to help you live each day. Living with ALS in a pandemic is not easy. Let's Exhale Hope together for ALS and give it all to the ALS community.
