Jamey Piggott, Executive Director

Jamey became involved in ALS when helping his best friend who was diagnosed with the disease.  While doing so, he saw how devastating the disease is and became passionate about helping those fighting ALS, their families and caregivers.  A graduate of Eastern University, Jamey developed and managed his own entertainment agency for twenty years before dedicating his career focus to fight ALS in 2014.  

His goals in this new role at the ALS Hope Foundation are to raise awareness about ALS; to raise funds for care and finding a cure; and serve as an advocate for the ALS community.
