Dear Friends, Supporters, and ALS Community Members,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of A Lasting Strength, effective September 7, 2024.

Our mission has always been clear: to raise awareness about the devastating impact of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and provide support to pALS (people with ALS) through community outreach and resource connections. ALS is a devastating neurodegenerative disease that leads to progressive muscular weakness, making daily life activities increasingly difficult and, ultimately, impossible. At A Lasting Strength, we have been committed to helping pALS change the narrative of living with ALS by offering access to vital resources and organizations aimed at improving their quality of life.

While our doors may be closing, we are incredibly proud of the strides we've made in spreading awareness and supporting the ALS community. We are grateful to all of you—our supporters, partners, and the entire ALS community—who have shared in our mission and made it possible for us to reach so many.

Although A Lasting Strength will no longer operate, we encourage you to continue advocating for ALS awareness and supporting those affected by this disease through the many wonderful organizations and resources still available. We have made links to these resources on this website, found below.

Thank you for your unwavering support over the years. Together, we have made a lasting impact.

With gratitude,

Stephen J. Lu, Executive Director
Kyle Ficklin-Badaloni, Director of Technology
Michael Ficklin-Badaloni, Director of Finance

A Lasting Strength
