ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a rare progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. It is a disease that is close to my heart as my cousin’s husband was recently diagnosed with the disease. Approximately 6,000 people are diagnosed per year in the US, with veterans, such as my cousin’s husband, being approximately twice as likely to develop ALS. It is an incurable and terminal disease with no successful treatments. Most people die within 2-5 years after being diagnosed
This necklace is a Knock Out ALS piece. A portion of the proceeds of each item sold will be donated to the research of a cure of ALS and support of those that are living with the disease.
The pendant is also available for individual purchase if you have another chain on which you would like to wear it.
Each necklace comes boxed and ready to give as a gift.
This jewelry item has small parts and is not intended for anyone under the age of 14.
