Dear NEALS Members & Friends,
In recognition of our 30th anniversary, NEALS is announcing a special fundraising bike ride event, in partnership with Bike the US for MS. For three decades, NEALS has been dedicated to accelerating research for ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) and providing support to those affected by this devastating disease.​
Our partners, Bike the US for MS, have an incredible history of supporting multiple sclerosis research and patient support. They bring their expertise and passion to our cause of advancing ALS research and care, helping us to create an unforgettable experience that combines camaraderie with impactful fundraising.​ By participating in this ride, you’ll have the unique opportunity to connect with fellow NEALS members, supporters, and the broader ALS research community.
Funds raised by NEALS members will go directly back to member initiatives, such as hosting vital member-specific trainings, including investigator trainings, site management trainings, and outcome trainings. Additionally, we aim to establish a travel stipend fund to support NEALS members attending these essential trainings and/or the annual meeting, ensuring that all members have the opportunity to participate, regardless of financial constraints.
Together, we can make a difference!
