Augie’s Quest to Cure ALS is a nonprofit committed to changing the experience of people living with ALS by fast-tracking cutting-edge research to advance effective treatments and an ultimate cure. The organization is galvanizing thousands to join this fight, confronting ALS in an entirely new way, and driving innovative research forward, and at an accelerated pace. We are working to bring an exciting treatment, AT-1501, and many others, to market as fast as we can via our research partners at the ALS Therapy Development Institute.
Augie’s Quest to Cure ALS was founded more than a decade ago by Augie Nieto, the successful fitness industry mogul behind lifecycle and life fitness who was diagnosed with ALS in 2005 and whose life story was recently chronicled in the award-winning film, Augie. With Augie’s Quest to Cure ALS, ALS doesn’t stand a fighting chance. Because ALS isn’t incurable, it’s only underfunded. To learn more about Augie’s Quest to Cure ALS visit www.augiesquest.org.

Out goal together is to support ALS research and those awaiting a cure – all while building community and fun on a Quest for More Life.
