Ways We Support Each Other in the ALS Community
Across the Mid-Atlantic, people support ALS families in different ways, through time, resources, and action. However you choose to take part, you help strengthen care and services for those living with ALS in our region!
Research That Starts in Our Community
ALS United Mid-Atlantic prioritizes three key research areas across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware to better understand ALS, improve care, and accelerate progress toward a cure.
DISCOVER NEW TREATMENTS
We fund innovative research to accelerate drug discovery, expand clinical trials, and bring new therapies closer to people living with ALS.
IMPROVE CARE & QUALITY OF LIFE
We support research that enhances current treatments, care strategies, and technologies to help people with ALS live better today.
UNDERSTAND & PREVENT ALS
We invest in research to uncover the causes of ALS, enable earlier diagnosis, and identify pathways to prevention and a cure.
A heartfelt Thank You to our invaluable volunteers who enable us to give help and hope to those whose lives have been touched by ALS. Every month one outstanding volunteer or group of volunteers who go above and beyond is recognized for this honor.
The ALS United Walk brings incredible energy and an outpouring of support for those affected by ALS. For over 20 years, our community has gathered throughout Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania to walk in honor of loved ones with ALS, remember those we have lost, and walk toward a future without ALS.
ALS United Mid-Atlantic hosts Resource/Support Groups to provide an opportunity for patients, caregivers, families and friends to be mutually supportive, exchange practical information, and share their experiences. All resource groups are free of charge for patients, caregivers and family members.
