Why Invest in Hope Happens?
To Fast-track Cures!
All donations to Hope Happens support its mission of improving the lives of people with neurodegenerative disorders by promoting collaborative, translational research with the potential to fast-track new cures.
Our focus is on a small family of neurological disorders, including ALS, Alzheimer’s disease , Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic spinal cord and brain injury and stroke. Our cutting-edge model of doing research rests on Chris Hobler's conviction that fundamental discoveries about one disorder can lead to treatments and cures for others.
The model of doing research at the Hope Center is unique. Although it makes every kind of sense, it has never been done before. The Hope Center is pioneering this new model of doing research by sharing (1) information and (2) core facilities.
Time is of the essence. Fifty million Americans have a permanent neurological disability that limits their daily activities, and many are progressive or even fatal. To an individual who has one of these disorders, the pace of progress can seem inexcusably slow. Hope Happens was founded (as ALS Hope) by an ALS patient, Chris Hobler. Time was important to Chris, and Hope Happens exists to speed up the process of translating basic scientific discoveries into therapies and eventually cures.
Because you’re visiting this page, we know you share our disappointment that there are few effective therapies and no cures for the above disorders. We know you share our sense of urgency as we work on behalf of persons battling right now for their lives. Finally, we know you share our belief that by working collaboratively we can create real change in how neurological research is conducted and funded.
