Help raise funds for ALS research and treatments by joining Raleigh Magazine’s monthlong “Gin for the Win” celebration and Tuesday happy hour pop-ups to benefit The ALS Association North Carolina Chapter.
Beyond sipping gin for a good cause all month at our participating bar partners, please join us every Tuesday in April at 5pm for gin pop-up parties! Last year, Raleigh Magazine, in conjunction with our friends and partners, raised a whopping $16,000 toward the cause! Let’s up the ante!
Host and partner bars will donate 15% of every gin drink sold during April and at our pop-up events to our team! And if you don’t like gin, that’s OK… come hangout with us! In addition to feel-good fun, there will be ALS raffles and top-notch prizes! And if you can’t make it out but still want to contribute to our team, please donate here any time in April—100% of donations go directly to ALS NC Chapter.
Most people don’t know what ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, aka Lou Gehrig’s disease) is or what it looks like until it touches their own family or friends.This month marks the one year anniversary of our staff being rocked by three simultaneous ALS passings in less than two weeks.
Please join us in our efforts to fight for future families for a cure against this cruel disease, as fundraising “drives bold and urgent innovation as we march together toward a treatment and ultimately a cure for ALS,” reads the association’s website.
In an effort to raise funds for research, treatments and family support services for those living with ALS, the North Carolina chapter of The ALS Association is also hosting a Triangle Walk on Saturday, April 23 for those wishing to participate.

ALS By the Numbers
ALS is 100% fatal. It can happen to any of us without warning. Incurable and progressive, the neurodegenerative disease affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, causing muscle weakness that leads to paralysis across all parts of the body. And the unfortunate fact is, chances are, someone you know or love will die from ALS.
- 100% fatal.
- 80% of cases begin between the ages of 40 and 70.
- 5,000+ people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS each year.
- 30,000: The estimated number of Americans who may have the disease at any given time
- 2 to 5 years: The life expectancy an ALS patient averages from the time of diagnosis

Hope this is allowed here if not I understand. My husband was diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) when he was 63 years old 4 years ago. The Rilutek (riluzole) did very little to help him. The medical team did even less. His decline was rapid and devastating. His arms weakened first, then his hands and legs. He resorted to a wheelchair (Perbombil C300). A year ago, I began to do a lot of research and came across www Health Herbs Clinic com, I decided to start him on the ALS herbal protocol as I had nothing else to turn to; 2 months into treatment he improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. No case of dementia, hallucination, weakness, muscle pain and he is even learning to Walk again. visit health herbs clinic. com
My first symptoms of ALS occurred in 2014, but was diagnosed in 2016. I had severe symptoms ranging from shortness of breath, balance problems, couldn’t walk without a walker or a power chair, i had difficulty swallowing and fatigue. I was given medications which helped but only for a short burst of time, then I decided to try alternative measures and began on ALS Formula treatment from Tree of Life Health clinic. It has made a tremendous difference for me (Visit w w w. treeoflifeherbalclinic .com ). I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength, improved eyesight and others. ]

This was great, I have been researching for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across Health Natural Centre ALS disease HERBAL FORMULA (just google it). It is a smashing one of a kind product for reversing Lou Gehrig’s disease completely. Ive heard some decent things about it and my buddy got amazing success with it.
