April Fool's Twinkie Run

April Fool's Twinkie Run Most ALS patients are in a wheelchair and using a ventilator within a few of years of diagnosis.

Eat purchased and homemade Twinkies before, during and after a 5K race presented by Active Against ALS (A2A3), 501(c)3 non-profit, to raise funds for Lou Gehrig's Disease research Currently, there is no cure or effective treatment for ALS, although approximately 30,000 people throughout the United States have the disease. Initiatives to help fund ALS research are especially urgent because this res

earch remains dramatically under-funded. Pharmaceutical companies have not invested their research dollars in ALS because they believe too few people suffer from this disease. Today, thanks to millions of dollars raised through donations, non-profit organizing and government grants, there are on-going aggressive efforts to find a treatment or a cure as soon as possible. Scientists are optimistic that a discovery is literally around the corner. A single minute of research in such a lab costs approximately $100.00. In order to find a cure, continued funding for this research is crucial. Ann Arbor Active Against ALS will donate its funds to the most efficient and effective cure-driven ALS research institutions. Please join A2A3 to support this important effort in finding a cure.
