This year’s Summit, taking place on October 9, will highlight research focused on both sporadic and familial forms of ALS. The event will feature presentations from ALS TDI scientists, a panel discussion with researchers and community members, and talks from guest experts across the field.

The ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) is proud to announce that it will lead all research operations for Champion Insights—a new study planned to launch this fall in partnership with Answer ALS and Augie’s Quest to Cure ALS. This effort aims to uncover critical genetic and metabolic factors that may help explain the significantly higher incidence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) among endurance athletes, military service members, and other potentially high-risk groups.

As the winners of the Dinner for Two Anywhere in the World Raffle, Kristin and Joe had up to $5000 to spend on travel, accommodations, and an extravagant meal.
