What a beautiful morning for the 7th Annual Run for Hope 5K!
Sunday, May 18, 2025 Norristown Farm Park
After a week of rain, Sunday arrived full of sunshine and enthusiasm! Both seasoned runners and first time participants came out to support the ALS Hope Foundation and make a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS. This was a day to celebrate hope together!
The 21st Annual Research Update and Awards Luncheon was an excellent day of education, information, and awards!
We were honored to welcome Dr. Richard Bedlack as the keynote speaker for the event. Dr. Terry Heiman-Patterson shared updates from the ALS Hope Foundation and then we recognized some of our amazing supporters!
Our Annual Gala of Hope presented by Green Star Exteriors was a night overflowing with hope, connection, and love!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to each and every one of you who joined us, donated, shared your story, lifted others, or supported us from afar. This night reminded us just how powerful our community is when we come together. With your help, we raised critical funds and awareness for ALS research, care, and advocacy. But more than that we shared a night that will live in our hearts for a very long time.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is the most common degenerative disease of the adult motor system. It leads to progressive weakness, loss of muscle movement, and paralysis.
Our mission is to provide Care for patients and families with ALS, Education to our community, and Research towards a cure for ALS. We do this by funding the MDA/ALS Center of Hope at Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine; hosting educational events and seminars; and supporting the Dr. Robert Sinnott Research Laboratory at Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine.
We need your help to continue to work towards a cure for ALS! Make a difference in the lives of those with ALS by donating directly, participating in one of our or your own fundraising events, or joining our volunteers!
