There is also a Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s just a ten-minute wheelchair-friendly trax ride from the hotel as well as a variety of restaurants in the immediate vicinity.

The physical and financial reality of ALS can be truly challenging. Although we cannot provide financial assistance, we have found that a lot of people ask a relative, friend or church to sponsor them to attend the conference. Others have asked a friend, colleague or family member to set up a GoFundMe campaign or another type of fundraiser to raise money for registration, hotel, travel and have raised enough for the trip. People around you want to help and this is an opportunity for others to help your family, which they will appreciate.

We understand both the necessity and the expense of a caregiver. At this point we are not able to offer complimentary admission to the conference for caregivers.

Others have used creative options to pay for their registration, hotel and travel expenses such as a relative, friend or church to sponsor them or have asked a friend, colleague or family member to set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise money. People appreciate the opportunity to help those around them in challenging situations.
