Arrest and Extinguish ALS Arrest and Extinguish ALS
Uniting first responders on a mission to end als.
There is evidence to suggest that First Responders are more likely to be diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Arrest & Extinguish ALS was created to unite First Responders, Police Officers, Firefighters, and EMTs on a mission to end ALS. By working together, we can support the critical research at the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) to understand the causes of ALS and find effective treatments and cures.
Our Mission

Arrest and Extinguish supports research at the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI), the world's most comprehensive drug discovery lab dedicated solely to finding treatments for ALS.
As a nonprofit biotech, ALS TDI’s research is funded by the ALS community – people whose lives have been affected by this disease who are united to end ALS.
Arrest And Extinguish Aims To:
Support research into the causes of ALS
so that we can better understand the correlation between first responders and ALS.

If you are a first responder with ALS, you can join the ARC study and share your data from home to help us learn more about this connection. To learn more about the ARC study, visit www.als.net/arc.
