Just a decade ago, after hearing the words You have ALS,a person with Lou Gehrig Disease in Louisiana or Mississippi had nowhere to turn. Upon receiving the diagnosis of this fatal disease, persons with ALS were expected to simply go home and get their affairs in order. The endeavor to organize a local chapter of The ALS Association began in Baton Rouge, La., in 2001 with an all-volunteer effort and the goal of offering help and hope for families affected by ALS in the area. The ALS Association Louisiana Chapter was founded in 2005 and expanded to include the state of Mississippi in 2009.
