Join us on Sunday, August 28, 2022, for the Walk for Research (formerly the Race 4 Research)! Enjoy a four-mile walk through Newton, MA. The walk proceeds benefit the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI), now located in Watertown, MA, and their mission to End ALS. The ALS TDI Walk for Research unites those impacted by ALS while raising crucial funds for ALS research and paying homage to the town of Newtown, where ALS TDI originated. https://fundraise.als.net/walkforresearch


In 1999, after his brother Stephen had been diagnosed with ALS at age 29, Jamie Heywood founded ALS TDI – the world’s first nonprofit biotech company – in the basement of his family's Newton, MA home to bring effective treatments to people living with this disease.


Today, ALS TDI is the most comprehensive drug discovery lab dedicated solely to ALS research. And although Stephen has since passed, the same sense of hope and family drives every decision made in the lab.
