Mission Statement
Augie's Quest is dedicated to changing the experience of people living with ALS. We raise the funds and awareness urgently needed to advance cutting-edge research, fast-track effective treatments, and ultimately find a cure for this devastating disease. Because ALS is NOT incurable, it's just underfunded. Today we have new hope to find a cure for ALS in our lifetimes. Join us in our quest to #ENDALS.
About This Cause
ALS is a disease we can tackle; a problem we can solve. Every dollar we raise drives innovative science and research forward, at an accelerated pace. And with every new discovery, we're making real progress in managing ALS. Together with our research partner, the ALS Therapy Development Institute, we turned a significant corner in ALS research, successfully delivering a breakthrough treatment called AT-1501 into the FDA's Stage 1 Human Clinical Trials. it marks the first time a non-profit organization has ever reached this stage of drug development. And thanks to the funding from Augie's Quest, TDI has more in the pipeline. We're in this position because of our innovative model led by Augie Nieto's business savvy and our collective, unlimited passion to drive our vision forward to end ALS. Augie's Quest is the lead funder of ALS TDI's Precision Medicine Program (PMP) which uses big data to better understand ALS progression on a patient-by-patient basis. This program is an innovative, first-of-its kind data model working to drastically speed up the drug validation process for ALS. And, with these crucial data, our scientists are rethinking how we target and treat ALS, uncovering new ideas, likely leading to more treatment options. This data also allows our scientists to create subsets of ALS, ultimately streamlining the clinical trial process, making it more agile and less expensive. The quest for a cure is our top priority, and we are fighting to #ENDALS once and for all. Join us at www.augiesquest.org.
