From their site is says:
"Reasons to Stop ALS
Three Reasons Why You Should Help Stop ALS:
(1) Unlike other diseases there is currently no treatment or cure for ALS
(2) Genetic Research has recently made significant progress
(3) You want to stop 30,000 Americans from dying
STOP ALS is a 501 C(3) Foundation
Together we will STOP ALS!"
ALS has never killed anyone that I know of.. Let alone 30,000 Americans? I've only been with 29,990 of them!! :smt005
