Knockout ALD

Knockout ALD is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness and funds for adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) research.  ALD is a rare, progressive, neurological disease affecting about 1 in 17,000 boys, many of whom suffer severe neurological symptoms and death if undiagnosed and not treated very early.  All funds raised go directly to support the University of Minnesota ALD Research Fund to help start and maintain research projects that might not otherwise make it to the lab without our donations.  The researchers we support at the University of Minnesota are making real progress in the early detection and treatment of ALD.
