Auction to End ALS - 2014

This auction will benefit the ALS Therapy Development Institute, the world's leading research laboratory dedicated to ending ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). And Team America is organizing this auction AND riding 270 miles from Boston to New York this July to raise funds and awareness to support ALS TDI's outstanding work. ** Please note -- the auction will close online at 4pm EST on May 28 and will then CONTINUE live and in-person the next day (May 29) at Team America's party at the ALS TDI HQ (300 Technology Square in Cambridge, MA) from 6pm-9pm EST. The highest bid at 9pm EST on May 29 will be the winning bid, unless a bidder has already purchased the item at the "Buy Now" value and has therefore become the winning bidder.

The mission of the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) is to develop effective therapeutics that stop ALS as soon as possible. Focused on meeting this urgent unmet medical need, ALS TDI executes a robust discovery program, as well as a multi-pronged approach to validate potential therapeutics; including small molecules, protein biologics, gene therapies and cell-based constructs. The Institute's unique, industrial-scale platform allows for the development and testing of dozens of potential therapeutics each year.
