Clare Reich learned of ALS.net following the summer of 2007, when her brother, Corey, was diagnosed with ALS at age 21. Since Corey’s diagnosis, Clare has helped her family run an annual fundraising event in support of the ALS Therapy Development Institute under the name "Corey's Crusade". She also helped with the San Francisco venue of the first annual Young Faces of ALS Corntoss Challenge. Clare is originally from Piedmont, California, but she attended Colby College in Waterville, Maine, where she graduated with a degree in history in May of 2011 and where she was captain of the women's volleyball team. In addition to spending time with Corey, Clare enjoys traveling, reading, and sports. Clare joined ALS.net in September of 2011 with the hope of helping the Institute in its mission of developing therapeutics to save her brother and all people with ALS today. In her role, she helped to create the Institute’s first lead annotation systems to streamline and prioritize fundraising opportunities.
