They are called "Ride for Life" because of their annual event in the spring in which ALS patients ride their wheelchairs from Manhhattan to Montauk to raise funds for a cure and create awareness of this horrible disease.

This organization has a wonderful section on stem cell therapy, with lots of first hand accounts of People with ALS receiving stem cell surgery in China.
