We strive to help people live better and longer with ALS by providing FREE assistance to anyone affected by the disease in more than 120 countries. In 2002, Ben Byer was diagnosed with ALS/MND at the age of 31. From that moment on, Stephen and Barbara Byer devoted their lives to finding an effective way to stop, slow or reverse Ben’s disease. Unwilling to accept that nothing could be done for their son and dismayed by the lack of resources available, Stephen and Barbara sought out the most promising research, drug trials, and treatments for symptom relief for Ben. For six years, they consulted with neuroscientists, neurologists, medical specialists and ALS/MND patients and their loved ones from around the world. In addition to sharing each new discovery with Ben, Stephen and Barbara passed on what they learned to others struggling with the devastating effects of the disease via Internet chat rooms, email, Skype and phone. Despite their tireless efforts, Ben passed away from the disease in 2008 at the age of 37. Shortly after his death, Stephen and Barbara founded ALS Worldwide to honor their son’s memory, keep his fight alive and ensure that no one has to face ALS/MND alone. Today, each member of ALS Worldwide draws upon their personal and firsthand knowledge of the disease to provide guidance, compassion and hope to ALS/MND patients and their families.
