    All proceeds benefit ALS research efforts worldwide and local patient services throughout Massachusetts.  ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a devastating neuromuscular disease that usually strikes at random. First symptoms can include trouble gripping, tripping, general clumsiness, and in some cases, slurred speech. As the disease progresses, it takes away a person’s ability to walk, speak, move, swallow and breathe, usually in just a few years. There is no known cause, no cure, and no effective therapies. For more information on this amazing event, ticket availability, and sponsorship opportunities, please contact Cara Campolo at 888-CURE-ALS, or
