(NAPSI)—Amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a
fatal neurological disease
that attacks the nerve cells.
It fi rst gained national at-
tention as Lou Gehrig’s
disease, named after the
famous baseball player
who was diagnosed with
ALS in 1939. To date, the
cause of ALS is unknown,
and there is still no known
cure. The disease strikes
quickly, usually leading
to death within 2–5 years
of diagnosis. But every
person with ALS has an
individual story, and under-
standing these stories will
help researchers ultimately
piece together clues about
the disease.
Ed Tessaro was diag-
nosed with ALS in 2009. As
he learned to cope with this
diagnosis, he refl ects, “I’ve
never considered myself a
victim of the disease, be-
cause I believe in my heart
all of us have a wheelchair.
In my case, it’s quite literal,
but with everything that
goes on in my life, I realize
that every family has had
a crisis.” One of the things
that helps him and others
with ALS is reaching out
for community support and
resources. “The ongoing
struggle is to encourage
newly diagnosed people to
come in and talk about their
condition. I want to help
people learn about the Na-
tional ALS Registry, clinical
trials, and other resources
that can provide support
and hope.”
The National ALS Reg-
istry helps gather informa-
tion from those who are
living with this disease. Re-
searchers from all around
the world can access the
Registry data to help sci-
entists learn more about
what causes this disease.
Everyone’s story is differ-
ent, and everyone’s piece
of the puzzle is essential.
The Registry has found that
more than 16,000 people
with ALS live in the United
States. It is important to
include as many people
as possible living with the
disease to get the most ac-
curate information. When
patients join, it helps give
researchers more informa-
tion. This could lead to a
better understanding of the
causes of ALS, because
learning more about the
disease is one step further
in the battle to defeat it.
If you or someone you
care about has ALS, con-
sider learning more about
the National ALS Registry
by visiting: www.cdc.gov/
als.
