about CURE IS COMING

---

The 2010 'A Cure is Coming!' will begin at the Lexington Visitor Center in Lexington, Massachusetts. Registration opens at 10am, and walkers will depart at 11:00am, heading southeast through Lexington Center. The 5k race will start at 11:20am with racers heading to the northwest and finishing up with a sprint finish down the Minuteman trail. Our Start/Finish Line at the Lexington Visitor Center on Mass Ave. will offer participants breakfast, lunch from local Lexington restaurants, and activities. When walkers are not out on the course, they can enjoy food, snacks and entertainment throughout the day!

A Cure Is Coming! is such a wonderful event for raising funds and awareness for ALS with all proceeds going to ALS Therapy Development Institute. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks motor neurons in the brain (upper motor neurons) and spinal cord (lower motor neurons) and affects muscle function. The mission of ALS TDI is to develop effective therapeutics that stop ALS as soon as possible. Focused on meeting this urgent unmet medical need, ALS TDI executes a robust discovery program, as well as a multi-pronged approach to validate potential therapeutics; including small molecules, protein biologics, gene therapies and cell-based constructs. With exciting things going on in our lab, we can't wait to share another great day with everyone!
