Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease is a progressive wasting away of certain nerve cells in the muscles that will no longer respond to the impulses sent by the brain through the spinal column.

 It is a totally disabling, always fatal disease with no known cure.  Patients typically have a life expectancy of two to four years after diagnosis. They progressively lose control of their muscles and require intensive personal care during the course of the disease.

**The primary fund raiser for ALS is the Annual Spring Autocross, which is held in March at the Riverside County Fairgrounds in Indio, CA.
