Hop On A Cure Foundation Inc

Hop On A Cure Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a devastating neurodegenerative disease. ALS progressively weakens muscles, impacting mobility, speech, and, eventually, the ability to breathe. Currently, there is no cure, and available treatments only slightly slow progression. Our foundation is committed to funding groundbreaking research and raising awareness.

Hop On A Cure’s mission is to support research to prevent, reverse, and cure ALS while raising awareness, building a compassionate community, and unleashing the healing power of hope. Through fundraising, awareness, and strategic partnerships, we aim to support cutting-edge research for better treatments and, ultimately, a cure. By rallying communities and leveraging the power of collaboration, we strive to make a lasting impact in the fight against ALS.
