WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
ALS United Rocky Mountain is here on the ground, providing hands-on, local care and support to families living with ALS across our Rocky Mountain communities. We’re not far away — we’re right here beside you, offering trusted, neighbor-to-neighbor care when it matters most.
Funds raised on Colorado Gives Day directly fuel these free, local services for people in Colorado affected by ALS, ensuring every family gets the support they deserve at no cost.
ALS United Rocky Mountain symbolizes the hopes of people everywhere that Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis will one day be a disease of the past, conquered by the dedication of thousands who have worked ceaselessly to understand and eradicate this perplexing killer.
Until that day comes, ALS United Rocky Mountain relentlessly pursues its mission to help people living with ALS and to leave no stone unturned in the search for a cure for this progressive neurodegenerative disease
ALS is a fatal neurodegenerative disease in which a person's brain loses connection with the muscles. People with ALS lose the ability to walk, talk, eat, and eventually breathe. This horrible disease has an average life expectancy of two to five years.
ALS United Rocky Mountain stands at the forefront of combating Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a challenge we undertake with unwavering dedication. Our multifaceted approach includes providing comprehensive care services to those affected by ALS, spearheading public education to raise awareness, advocating for policy changes to foster research and healthcare improvements, and funding groundbreaking research to find a cure. We are committed to improving the quality of life for individuals living with ALS through our programs designed for safety, communication, and emotional support. Our efforts in research aim not just to uncover new treatments but to ensure a future where ALS can be effectively diagnosed, treated, and ultimately prevented. As a pillar of support within the ALS community, we champion the cause of those battling this disease, striving to make ALS a disease of the past.
To unite and empower the ALS community through a collaborative approach of providing comprehensive care and support to individuals and families affected by ALS, advancing national and state advocacy, and fostering bold research initiatives.
Established locally in 1996, ALS United Rocky Mountain was born out of a few determined Coloradans who knew intimately the way ALS affects families. They hosted a golf tournament to raise funds and awareness for ALS and through their efforts and countless others throughout the years, our organization has grown to serve thousands living with ALS each day in the Rocky Mountain region. Together, We End ALS®.
