The ALS Association - Jim "Catfish" Hunter Chapter is here to serve you!

We understand that NC PALS, family members, caregivers and others need different resources and have different needs altogether.

 

Our goal is to serve all people living with ALS in North Carolina. We support everyone with ALS & PLS in NC through our ALS programs, support groups and clinics/centers. Whether you live in the NC mountains, Charlotte area, Piedmont Triad, The, Sandhills, DownEast or the Coastal Carolina area, we are here to help you! We work extremely hard to raise awareness and the necessary funding to finance our many services and our world class ALS research program. In the words of our dear friend Mark Reiman, "Nothing less, cure ALS!" You can now find us by going to www.alsnc.orgwww.alsnc.com or www.ncals.org. Whether you're looking for ALS Walk, ALS Golf Tournament, Catfish Hunter, Catfish Hunter Biography, ALS Chapter, NC ALS, ALS NC, Carolinas ALS, Carolinas Neuromuscular Center, Duke ALS Center, Best ALS Research, Top ALS Research, Best ALS Clinics or Best ALS Centers, Best ALS Patient Services Programs or Top ALS Patient Programs you should have no trouble finding us on the web. We still have ALS wristbands or ALS Bracelets.
