The American Academy of Neurology, The ALS Association and the American Brain Foundation have awarded the 2024 Sheila Essey Award to Eva Feldman, M.D., Ph.D., from the University of Michigan. Throughout her distinguished career, Feldman has shed light on biological processes that drive ALS development and progression, paving the way for the development of new therapies, including two first-ever human clinical trials of intraspinal stem cell implantation (injection) therapy for ALS.
After being the primary caregiver to his wife of 30 years before she passed away from disease in 2021, Bob Scott wasn’t sure he ever wanted to have anything to do with the letters “ALS” again. But a burning in his gut told him that he should do something to help; that he could try and make it all a bit more “fair.”
Join us to celebrate the ALS Association and Lou Gehrig Day at Petco Park! We will be cheering on our very own San Diego Padres as they take on the Miami Marlins!
Once again, the Padres have generously donated complimentary tickets so our ALS community can enjoy a day out at the ballpark! We encourage our families and caregivers to contact LeeAnn Casey to secure your tickets today.
Don't forget to stop by our ALS Association table near Padres Community Corner on the Main Concourse behind home plate to say hello. We would love to see you!
