Specifically the goals of the organization are to:

• Help the ALS of Nevada patient and family in live as normal life as possible

• Conduct support group meetings for patients, caregivers, and family members

• Aid patients through the loan of equipement, free clinics, and advocacy

• Encourage and support scientific research for the prevention, alleviation, care, treatment, and cure of ALS

• Increase awareness of ALS in all levels of government in an effort to expand government support of research and elicit programs that will make treatments and care accessible and affordable of all patients 
  

ALS is always fatal; there is no cure and currently no known cause for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. It strikes without warning-with or without family history. With all voluntary muscle action affected, patients in later stages are often totally paralyzed. The financial burden to families of person with ALS can be over $200,000 a year as much of the needed assistance is not covered by standard medical plans or Medicare.
