The Les Turner ALS Foundation is a Chicago-based nonprofit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive care and support to individuals living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), advancing scientific research for effective treatments and a cure, and educating the public about the disease.
The foundation typically supports policies that increase federal and state funding for ALS research, expand access to specialized healthcare and support services for individuals with neurodegenerative diseases, promote disability rights and caregiver support, and accelerate regulatory pathways for new ALS treatments.
The organization is primarily funded through private donations, fundraising events, grants, and corporate sponsorships.
