Description
The Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Society of Quebec is a non-profit organization that supports families touched by ALS at every stage of the disease with information, counselling, support groups and financial aid for vulnerable families. Raising awareness, promoting and funding research are also integral parts of its mission.
ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease or maladie de Charcot. It is a neuromuscular disorder that affects the nerve cells and spinal cord progressively leading to the paralysis of the muscles. ALS progresses rapidly and is usually fatal within five years following the initial diagnosis.
To date, there is no treatment to significantly prolong the life of patients with ALS.
