Ann Arbor ACTIVE Against ALS - A2A3

Help A2A3 fight ALS!

Ann Arbor Active Against ALS (A2A3) is a new not-for-profit organization created by friends and colleagues of Ann Arbor residents Bob Schoeni and Gretchen Spreitzer to support finding a cure for ALS.

In July 2008 Coach Bob was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), commonly known as Lou Gehrigs Disease. ALS is a disease - currently with no cure or effective treatment - that paralyzes the body but leaves the mind intact.

ALS takes away activity and muscles from those stricken by it. Thus, the goals of A2A3 are to enable and encourage people to be active and strong - individually and communally - to help fight the disease by doing the opposite of what ALS does. We aim to raise awareness of ALS and its effects, to demonstrate solidarity with families impacted by ALS, and to raise funds for the most promising research into treatments and cures.
