ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a disease that moves differently for everyone, but no one should have to face it without support or without hope that better treatments are on the horizon. Target ALS funds, enables, and conducts research, while connecting researchers across the world working to change what’s possible for people living with ALS today and in the future.
