What is ALS?

ALS is short for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, according to the ALS Association.

Over time, those with the disease, which affects nerves and muscle use, can lose the ability to move and communicate.

ALS is typically diagnosed between the ages of 40 and 70, and around 20,000 Americans have the disease at a given time, according to the ALS Association.
