Lunch and Learn: Lou Gehrig and ALS Virtual Event

May 6 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT

Do you know Lou? Lou Gehrig is one of the greatest baseball players of all time. So much so that Major League Baseball designated June 2nd Lou Gehrig Day. But did you know his career ended earlier due to a neurological disease that caused his muscles to stop working? Lou Gehrig had Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and it ended his life.

Lou’s legacy continues, but unfortunately so does ALS. It remains a fatal disease. To learn more about Lou and ALS, please join us for a presentation on this incredible person, this terrible disease, and the efforts to make ALS history.

The presentation will be given by Deb Paust and volunteers from the I AM ALS Lou Gehrig Day Team & Wendy Faust from the Live Like Lou Foundation.
