Rob Dorinson (second from right) is afflicted with ALS. He and his family and friends helped make the 2011 and 2012 Walk n’ Roll/5K Run for ALS of Nevada successful. One of his goals is to make sure that ALS of Nevada continues to raise enough money to become self-sustaining. He knows how important ALS of Nevada’s services are to patients, caregivers and families.

Whether the patient is affected in their limbs or their speech, the multi-disciplinary medical team can help treat them.
