The mission of The ALS Association is to lead the fight to treat and cure ALS through global research and nationwide advocacy, while also empowering people with ALS and their families to live fuller lives by providing them with compassionate care and support. Money raised from annual ALS fundraisers supports people living with ALS as well as funds ALS research aimed at finding treatments and a cure for the disease. The ALS Association Florida Chapter provides free services and assistance for persons diagnosed with ALS, their families and caregivers.
