We invited you to Jump in and Feel the Love with Us at our 17th Annual Valentine Plunge… and you did! 625 of you! And because of YOU we were able to raise over $370,000 at last year’s Annual Valentine Plunge! You are an amazing group of individuals set out to make the world a better place by supporting this cause and changing the lives of our pALS!
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS!!
About the Valentine Plunge
The plunge is an exciting fundraising event where participants, called Plungers, collect donations for ALS patients in exchange for plunging into the icy Atlantic Ocean.
Get a team together – register as an individual – be a spectator cheering on your plungers – make a donation – be part of an amazing fundraising event! We’d like to give many, many thanks to all who have participated in the past years and now! Let’s make history again this February 2024!
Thank you again to all of our supporters!

Did you know, the estimated cost to develop a next-gen ALS drug is over $2 billion dollars? We're proud to play a small role in spreading awareness for ALS patients and families, making sure the next generation of patients have access to new drugs.
Let's talk about BMAA.📖 ![]()

BMAA is the most-studied environmental factor associated with ALS. It was originally identified in cycad seeds in Guam after ALS became 50 to 100 times more common than expected in the native Chamorro people, whose traditional diet included these seeds, between 1940 and 1965. ![]()

BMAA is also produced by some kinds of cyanobacteria, blue-green bacteria that typically are found in bodies of water. According to a 2022 review of 258 studies, there is a strong association between BMAA and ALS.
