About ALS Foundation for Life
The ALS Foundation
for Life, a non-profit 501 (c) (3), was founded by an ALS patient, Frank
Carlson. While personally battling this disease each day, Frankie decided
he wanted to invest his time and energy trying to help improve the quality
of life for other ALS victims. The ALS Foundation for Life is built solely
on volunteers. The mission of his foundation is to aid PALS and their
families in acquiring financial assistance for home modifications, medical
equipment and supplies to help maintain a sense of independence and
dignity. Mr. Carlson lost his battle with ALS on July 2, 2004. His mission
continues with the support of local businesses and the public. More
