ALS Association Sets Goal of Making ALS a Livable Disease by 2030

Today, we are announcing a goal of making ALS a livable disease by 2030. For decades, ALS has been a fatal disease without any cures and no significant life-extending treatments. Making ALS a livable disease means significantly longer lives for people with ALS, greater quality of life, and that some people are even prevented from getting ALS. We believe that with the right focus, and enough resources, this is achievable. To get there, we’re going to need to find new treatments and cures, optimize current care and treatments, and prevent or delay the harms of ALS.

All of this work will get us closer to our world without ALS. Our immediate priorities include ensuring access to effective treatments and care for ALL people with ALS, empowering people with ALS, and reducing the physical, emotional, and financial burdens of living with ALS.
