Make the ALS Promise

I’d like to invite you to join us in the promise to help create a world without ALS by starting an ALS Promise Fund. Your gift will establish an enduring tribute and provide a transformative impact on our shared vision of finding the cause and developing a cure for ALS.

The ALS Promise Fund is a special fund that is created to commemorate the life of a loved one by friends and family who know the heartache of ALS. They come together to make the ALS promise by sharing their story through a multi-media website and establishing a fund to celebrate the life of someone special in their life. Every story is unique, but each conveys the triumph of the human spirit.

Please take a minute to visit the Promise Fund website at www.alspromise.org. If you’d like to find out more please contact Sue at sue@alsmn.org or 612.672.0484.
