Augie's Quest, in conjunction with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), is an aggressive, cure-driven effort singularly focused on treatments and cures for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
OUR MISSION
We will do this by:
* Raising funds to support cure-based research, globally.
* Removing the barriers which slow the process of discovery and clinical development of new therapies for the diagnosis and treatment of ALS.
We are a unique force comprised of leading international advocates and professionals from the fields of fitness, nutrition, medicine, and R & D, as well as the Muscular Dystrophy Association. We are ALS patients, their families and friends. And together, we are united to catalyze systematic change.
 |
The MDA and Augie's Quest are working with the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGEN) to try to understand the underlying cause of sporadic ALS. Over the next 6 months, TGEN will test up to a thousand people with ALS to identify, for the first time, the genetic factors that predispose a person to this devastating disease. Discovery of such factors, which have eluded investigators so far, will lead to developing meaningful treatments for ALS.
