ALS, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, is a disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
ALS of Nevada works to help people living with the disease and their families by supporting research into the disease, promoting public policies and more.
“This walk creates a sense of community and belonging for individuals living with ALS and the family members who care for them,” said Jen Larsen, Event Director for ALS of Nevada. “This walk is one of the biggest ways to support ALS patients in Nevada while also helping with research efforts to find a cure."
