At first I thought the whole thing was silly. But have you seen the numbers? As of this morning, they said that they’ve gotten over $94 million in donations since July 29th! In the same period last year, they got just over $2 million! So this thing is really working.
I would just like to mention that there is an Israeli company called Brainstorm which has a potential cure for ALS. It was used on the son of R’ Chaim Shmulevitz zt”l, R’ Rafael, who had an advanced case of ALS. He got it with a compassionate use exemption, and it worked for him! He had been in a wheelchair, unable to speak, and now B”H he’s walking and talking again!
It is currently in clinical trials in the US. So if you know anyone with ALS, tell them to look into it and see if they could get into the trial, or at least try for a compassionate use exemption. It can save their lives!
