The ALS forum is an all-volunteer driven resource provided free of charge to help anyone directly or indirectly affected by ALS and MND (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease).

The ALS and MND forums are here for individuals like yourself - people impacted by ALS and MND (motor neuron disease).

Our community consists of individuals working together; exchanging information, providing moral support, sharing information and tips - together we can learn to cope with ALS, make friends, and help one another.

We encourage you to join our support group to ask questions, get help with ALS, and to share experiences.

Remember, you're not alone, chat about your journey with people affected in the same way as you.

Together we provide hope, information, support, and friendship to people affected by ALS/MND. Mothers, daughters, brothers, sisters, patients, caregivers and friends alike.

We've already made a big difference, help us do even better, join today.

Recent ALS/MND Headlines

The following headlines have been posted by our volunteers. All articles originated from reliable sources available on the World Wide Web.

The ALS and MND news headlines have been temporarily taken offline. We plan to replace this feature with automatic headlines that are easier to keep current.

Searching for ALS and MND Information Online?

Experience has shown that there are many individuals ready, willing, and actively taking advantage of people searching for information about ALS and MND. These individuals are shameless in their pursuits and often use spam e-mail tactics, or worse yet, false claims, promises of miracle cures, misleading leading information and fear tactics in order to profit from your situation.

Protect yourself, read the Scam Watch to ensure you're aware of how people might take advantage of your situation.

Have something to add to our information about potential scams? Do you have a personal story to share? Please feel free to share it with us through our publicly available support groups. Working together we can make the Internet a safer place for people affected by ALS/MND.

Sponsorship and Thank You's

A very special thank you goes out to Al Pettit (ALS forum moderator supreme). Without Al Pettit's hardwork, kind nature, and thorough knowledge of ALS, this website would not be as important, or as helpful.

A special thank you also goes to our web technology sponsor. ALSforums.com benefits from non profit Web site design, web development and web maintenance by the kind folks at Intrigue Design, located in Toronto, Ontario. Without the generosity and sponsorship of Intrigue as well as the sponsored hosting, this P'ALS community would not be possible.

Most importantly, a very big thank you to all of our heroic members and daily visitors - if only we could have met on different terms - keep up the fight!
