A L S (Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis) is a motor neuron disease, first described in 1869 by the noted French neurologist Jean Martin-Charcot. Although the cause is not completely understood, the last decade has brought a wealth of new scientific understanding about the disease that provides hope for the future. A L S Association Mass Chapter's office is located on the second floor on 320 South Norwood Park Plaza. Their mission is to lead the fight to treat and cure A L S through global research and nationwide advocacy while also empowering people with Lou Gehrig's Disease, and their families to live fuller lives by providing them with compassionate care and support.
