Take a look back through 2012 to see how you, our supporters, made a difference in the lives of families battling ALS.

Actively living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a challenge that affects families emotionally and financially. The high cost of health care, lack of accessible transportation, and insurance restrictions severely limit the independence and quality of life of both patients and their caregivers.

Joe Martin, banking executive, community activist, and ALS patient, envisioned a foundation that could help patients and their families overcome these challenges by offering home care services at no cost. Mr. Martin's former health care staff and his family have worked to realize his vision by forming the Joe Martin ALS Foundation. This foundation is the first organization in North Carolina to offer free home care services to people living with ALS.

Mission Statement: To help families face the challenge of living actively with ALS by providing free homecare services.
