ALS
(Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is a progressive
disease that attacks nerve cells in the brain and
spinal cord, resulting in muscle weakness and atrophy.
Not only is ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s
Disease) physically debilitating, patient care
can cost up to $250,000 a year, often depleting
a family’s entire savings. |
| Founded
by Terry Magovern in honor of his late fiance, the
Joan Dancy & PALS Foundation provides financial
assistance and emotional support to our friends and
neighbors in Monmouth and Ocean Counties afflicted
with this devastating disease. |
