"There are over 30 Hanseses today with a 50% chance of having the ALS gene and with each new diagnosis, that number increases to include some of the next generation. We are committed to helping find a treatment for Mark Hanses and his nephews, Scott and Greg, and for others who will fight this battle before a cure is found."
-Cheryl Hanses-Smith
What is ALS?
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrig’s disease) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that leads to paralysis, due to the death of motor neurons in the spinal cord and brain. There is no known cure for the disease. About 5,000 people in the US are diagnosed with ALS each year; the incidence is similar to multiple sclerosis. However, with no effective treatment, the average patient survives only two to five years following diagnosis. There are about 30,000 people in the US diagnosed with ALS today. The worldwide population of ALS patients is estimated at 450,000.
