We are honored to share that Target ALS Founder and Chairman, Dan Doctoroff, has been named a recipient of the FNIH Partnership Award.

This recognition celebrates those who have made significant contributions to the FNIH’s work in support of the NIH mission by bringing together the people, resources, and vision needed to accelerate scientific discovery and improve human health.

Dan's founding of Target ALS was driven by that exact commitment: building a collaborative model that unites researchers, clinicians, and industry partners in pursuit of meaningful progress for people living with ALS. This award is a testament to what can accomplish when led with purpose.

Congratulations, Dan.

Our ALS Global Research Initiative is growing, and we're excited to welcome Malaysia as our newest participating region in the Target ALS Global Natural History Study.

ALS doesn't recognize borders, and neither should the data that helps us understand it. By expanding into new populations and geographies, the Global Natural History Study builds a richer, more representative picture of how ALS presents and progresses across diverse communities: insight that's essential for accelerating research and, ultimately, treatments.

The University of Malaya Medical Centre is now actively enrolling participants. If you or someone you know may be interested in taking part, learn more about the study and how to get involved: https://targetals.org/global-natural-history-study/

Adam Crystal has spent his career translating complex biology into medicines that can change the course of disease. He trained as a neuroscientist, then became a medical oncologist, and now serves as President of R&D at Tango Therapeutics. With this background, ALS was something he understood at the molecular level. Then, the disease became personal.

Adam’s mother, Judy, was diagnosed with ALS in late 2025. The distance between professional expertise and personal reality disappeared. Sadly, Judy passed away this past March.

In our latest story, Adam reflects on what it means to see ALS through an oncologist's lens. Where the field stands today, why the science of neurodegeneration is still early on the maturity curve, and what it will take to move it forward. It's a candid look at genetics, drug discovery, and why the infrastructure being built underneath ALS research matters now more than ever.

June 2nd is Lou Gehrig’s day, and ballparks across the league pause to honor him. Lou Gehrig was a Hall of Famer whose name became inseparable from ALS, and whose legacy continues to drive the fight against it.

Today, we're proud to stand alongside ALS United Greater New York, Her ALS Story, I AM ALS, and MAC Angels Foundation at two iconic New York venues. Together, we're showing up for the ALS community, raising awareness, and reminding everyone that this fight is stronger when we're in it together.

Join us at the ballpark tonight and on June 10th. Grab your tickets below.

This ALS Awareness Month, we asked our community to join us in going for ALS research.

The response was overwhelming. People living with the disease. Children who have lost their parents to it. Best friends lost too soon. Families, caregivers, researchers, advocates, each of them sharing their experience, starting fundraisers, making donations, telling us why they are ALL IN.

Every face you see here represents someone who is ALL IN for ALS research, and someone we are ALL IN for. Together, we will build a world where Everyone with ALS Lives.

Now and always, go : https://ow.ly/SuFJ50Z5o0L

K**a is for her niece, Ashlee.

Five years ago, Ashlee, a nurse, wife, and mom of three, was diagnosed with ALS at 43. Her family has been beside her through every trial, every treatment, every prayer.

Ashlee's husband, Mike, has been "Superman." Their three kids, two older boys and 14-year-old Harper, are excellent athletes. The family has grown closer through it all, holding onto faith and each other.

Ashlee's story, and so many others like it, is an urgent reminder of the work that must continue, so that no other family has to carry this weight.

Go ALL IN: https://ow.ly/c3Ko50Z5nWv

ALS doesn't take one person at a time. It takes families. Communities. Generations. Meet three people who know that truth firsthand:

A caregiver who has watched ALS take five people in her family.

A family standing beside their loved one through the mental, emotional, and physical weight of this disease.

A best friend who lost her person eight months after diagnosis, leaving behind a husband, a 7-year-old son, and an army of people who loved her.

They are ALL IN. Join them: https://ow.ly/jcFT50Z5nV3

Today, on what would have been Geoff’s birthday, we’re remembering a man who was .

All in for ALS research. All in for raising awareness. All in for building a community determined to change the future of this disease.

He fought tirelessly to make sure no one else would have to endure what he lived with every day. To help people better understand the realities of ALS, Geoff and his caregiver courageously shared a glimpse into daily life with the disease, bringing honesty, humanity, and visibility to a journey so many families face: https://youtu.be/x4mzuontWQw?si=HW68OfDiVhGhWBxE

Geoff embodied what it means to be All In.

Though he passed away just last month, his legacy continues to inspire all of us, and he is deeply missed.

Geoff, we’ll keep going for the goal. We’ll keep going All In.

ALS research is only as strong as the people it represents. For too long, that representation has been narrow. Historically, only about 5% of ALS study participants have been of non-Caucasian descent. The ALS Global Research Initiative (AGRI) is changing that.

Through the Global Natural History Study and community-based pop-up clinics, AGRI is closing gaps in research and making participation possible for communities that ALS research has too often left behind.

Today, 36% of participants in our Global Natural History Study are non-Caucasian, and diversity is growing.

This is what being ALL IN looks like at scale: https://ow.ly/B41x50Z5nO8
