Paradigm Shift

I support ALSA because of their patient services programs. My life would be more difficult without them. But I strongly support ALSTDI because they take an engineering approach to finding a cure. Throughout my life I have learned that the engineering approach is the _only_ way to properly solve a complex technical problem. I encourage you to walk for ALSA but if you want to do more than bandaid a fatal disease, strongly support ALSTDI. TDI is a paradigm shift in thinking not just about ALS but in addressing the translational research gap for orphan diseases altogether.
