Take a Virtual Tour of the World's Largest ALS Research Center

Hello baseball fans, and thank you for your support of the 4ALS Awareness campaign! Over the next few weeks, I will be posting information here about the work being done at ALS TDI toward the development of treatments to slow, stop and ultimately end ALS.  First in the way of introduction, ALS TDI is the world's largest ALS research center and the first ever non-profit biotechnology company.  There is only one thing that our team of 30 professional scientists focus on - delivering effective treatments to ALS patients as soon as possible. We believe that this can and will be done.  You can take a virtual tour of our research center online at www.als.net/research/vlt

I also would like to let you know about a unique program of ours taking place this July 4^th in conjunction with the 4ALS efforts in all 15 of the ballparks that day - it is called "BBQ For ALS Awareness" and today we have 82 different BBQs signed up between 28 states (as well as Canada and Australia!). These grassroots fundraising and awareness events epitomize the ownership that the ALS community has taken over solving the ALS crisis. Thank you to everyone that has registered thus far and for all of the volunteers that will be in the ballparks on the 4^th handing out information about ALS.  You can learn more about the BBQ For ALS Awareness effort (including a Google map of all 82 events) online at www.als.net/mlb4als
