For nearly three decades, we have brought all of these people together around one goal: to move the best ALS research forward, faster, toward effective treatments and a cure.
Research may happen in the lab, but it is made possible by all of us.
That’s the Project ALS family.
From Alex Hermstad, twin sister of Jaci, whose donated tissue helped begin this research, to Jaci, whose treatment helped pave the way forward, the Hermstad sisters' legacy continues to shape the future of ALS research.

In 1998, our sister Jenifer was diagnosed with ALS. Her doctor told her to max out her credit cards and go see the world. There was no medicine, and she was given 2–5 years to live. We refused to accept that reality. That determination still drives us today.
