Help Us Fight ALS and Support Those Affected ALS is a relentless and fatal motor neuron disease with no known cause, treatment, or cure. After diagnosis, individuals are typically given just 2-5 years to live. This devastating illness gradually takes away a person's ability to walk, move, eat, swallow, and speak-while their mind remains fully aware. In the final stages, they are trapped in their own bodies, unable to move except for the blink of an eye. ALS in the Heartland (ALSITH) is a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to supporting individuals with ALS, along with their families and caregivers. During Go Big GIVE, every dollar donated to ALSITH will go directly to helping those affected in Hall, Hamilton, Howard, and Merrick counties. Your generosity provides essential resources, care, and hope to those battling this disease. Join us in making a difference-because no one should face ALS alone.
