About This Cause
ALS, sometimes called Lou Gehrig's Disease or Motor Neuron Disease (MND), is a rapidly progressive fatal neuromuscular disease. It is characterized by degeneration of a select group of nerve cells and pathways in the brain and spinal cord, which leads to progressive paralysis of the voluntary muscles. The ALS Society of Manitoba is a small not-for-profit organization committed to providing the best possible care and support for Manitobans living with ALS/MND, their families and caregivers. As well, we build public awareness of ALS/MND and its impact on society. We also support research into the cause of and the cure for ALS/MND.
