Mission

Our mission is to help people in our local communities living with ALS by providing a better quality of life for them and their families.

What is ALS?

ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease is a progressive debilitation disease that attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, resulting in muscle weakness and atrophy. There is no cure.

Founded

The Joan Dancy & pALS Foundation was created in 2005 by Terry Magovern in honor of Joan Dancy, his late fiancé, after she succumbed to ALS. His goal was to help as many people as we possibly could suffering in our local communities.

​

Our foundation runs solely on donations.
We are registered as a NJ Charity CH2875550. Federal Tax ID 20-3842940.
