Our Approach
ALS United Connecticut is dedicated to supporting ALS research through education, awareness, access, and funding.
ALS Research Locally and around the World
Every aspect of our work is dedicated to discovering effective treatments and cures for ALS. This underscores the critical importance of funding exceptional ALS research.
ALS United Connecticut collaborates with other organizations both locally and around the world to fund vitally important research projects, provide access to clinical trials and help register and track ALS information.
Your generous support enables ALS organizations to fund millions of dollars in research every year, in locations across the globe. Projects are funded across the research pipeline, from basic research through clinical trials, and your support has led to several potential treatments currently in clinical trials.
AMP ALS: United in the Fight Against ALS
