Breaking News: ALS Awareness Month Has Changed — to ALS Action Month

We are a 100% all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit charity. No one takes a paycheck here and there are no administrative costs. That means 100% of all funds raised by the R.A.S.C.A.L.S. Foundation go directly to fighting ALS.

The money goes to fund promising treatment research and development. It helps with ALS family assistance, such as our annual Higher Education Scholarship program.

Study Suggests ALS Risk Reduced by Eating Brightly Colored Vegetables

Ascherio and his team analyzed data from five long-running studies that collectively contained more than one million participants. Nutrition habits and presence of health problems examined closely by researchers to see if food consumption had an impact on ALS development. Previous studies suggest that individuals with a high intake of antioxidants, in particular vitamin E, may be less likely to develop ALS.

RASCALS Foundation 3rd Anniversary

Three years ago on this date, the Robert A. Stehlin Campaign for ALS (RASCALS) was officially incorporated as a public charity in the State of Missouri. It was an landmark day for our founder, Bob Stehlin, and an important moment for the medical researchers and patient families who have benefited from our work.
