Every year, skiers on Team ALS go to the American Birkebeiner (the premier cross-country ski race in North America) in honor of John Jaeckel, who is living with ALS, and all other Wisconsin residents battling the disease.
There is no cost for skiers to participate, we request that Team ALS members raise at least $1000 toward the cause.
We're excited to once again offer our Virtual ALS Symposium this year! Mark your calendars for December 14th and join us to learn more about research updates, advocacy efforts in research and expanded access, and more! Our special guest lineup includes:
