The Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Society of Canada, founded in 1977, is the only national voluntary health organization dedicated solely to the fight against ALS, and support for those living with ALS. ALS Canada funds research towards a treatment for ALS, supports our federation member societies in the provision of quality care for those living with ALS, and provides information to build awareness about the disease. The vision of the ALS Society of Canada is to find a cure for ALS. ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a rapidly progressive and fatal neuromuscular disorder that causes the degeneration of a select group of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. As the nerve cells die, people with ALS lose control of their muscles, which makes breathing, eating and even smiling almost impossible. Approximately 2,500 - 3,000 Canadians currently live with ALS.
