First, thanks for being so patient when it comes to updating a new post for the blog. We were extremely busy moving to the new Lou Ruvo Brain Center, as well as planning for all our upcoming 2010 fundraising events.

However, we would like to bring to your attention a website that is going to help many. Healthier Lungs is a must visit for all caregivers assisting victims of ALS!

Their section, NAC Shows Benefit in ALS Studies is supported with medical documentation and the reason for us posting it here.

In our sessions with caregivers and ALS victims, the above referenced web site was brought to our attention. Again, we feel you will find valuable information. Both links open in new windows, so you can just close them when you are done and leave us any comments, questions, or concerns.

Remember, if you live in Nevada, we’re just a phone call away! See the sidebar for details.

[grants/donations/als]

Our apologies for not posting as often as we would have liked this past year, but the move to the new Center (see post below this one), and keeping in touch with patients and caregivers, and the clinic and fund raising consume lots of our time.

BUT… and this should have been announced last month, we have wonderful news!

We received the news that ALS of Nevada will be receiving a $25,000 grant from Wal-Mart that we applied for in August. This grant is restricted to our clinics and the buying and repairs of equipment for our patients statewide.

So with the new move complete, wonderful donations coming in through individuals, families, small and large businesses, we’re ready to hit 2010 with everything we’ve got!

We’d prefer, actually, to go out of business! Finding a cure is the miracle we all pray for! This Season, please don’t forget about us here in Nevada. You’ll find our donation information off there to your right.

Happy Holidays to All!

We have begun our new move to the brand spanking new Lou Ruvo Center on Bonneville in Las Vegas. While we’re not 100% up and running, the move is going smoothly. It’s just we have a lot of equipment, files, etc., to get sorted.

In our old offices (and we do mean “old”) there was a bit of space. Cubicles now make up our wonderful space in this fantastic facility.

Here’s a photo of what the building looked like in September 2009. As soon as we’re able, we’ll update everyone on it’s current look (if you haven’t already traveled by to take a look for yourself).
