Augie’s Quest ALS Project
The ALS Project with Jim Worthington, Matt and Caitlin Bellina and Linda Mitchell
As a last hurrah we are coming together around a cause that has long united us – supporting Augie’s Quest and people living with ALS. Let’s build on this momentum and move hope forward together.
Movement is a privilege.
Our goal is to raise $100,000 by May 4, 2026.
WHAT DO THESE FUNDS MEAN FOR PEOPLE WITH ALS?
$100,000 provides 200 people living with ALS with an accelerometer.
200 people. 200 devices. Real Data. Real Progress.
Tracking movement today to stop ALS tomorrow.
One device costs $500. Our goal is to enroll 200 people with ALS in the next year.
These accelerometers measure real world movement – capturing how ALS progresses in daily life.
This data helps researchers:
- Track disease progression
- Improve clinical trials
- Accelerate new treatments
Caitlin and Matt Bellina
Caitlin, Matt, Jim, and Linda have been motivated to find a cure for ALS for over a decade. Their commitment led them to advocate for the Right to Try Act, which was signed into law in May 2018. This landmark legislation allows terminally ill Americans to access experimental drugs and treatments before they have completed all three phases of FDA clinical trials—offering hope and, in some cases, even saving lives.
Today, they are once again committed to raising significant funds to accelerate the search for treatments and a cure, and they need your help.
