Knock Out ALS Necklace ALS Jewelry Gift ALS Awareness Gift Red Ribbon Necklace Red Ribbon Supporter Fundraiser Gift

ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a rare progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. It is a disease that is close to my heart as my cousin's husband was recently diagnosed with the disease. Approximately 6,000 people are diagnosed per year in the US, with veterans, such as my cousin's husband, being approximately twice as likely to develop ALS. It is an incurable and terminal disease with no successful treatments. Most people die within 2-5 years after being diagnosed. This necklace is a Knock Out ALS piece. A portion of the proceeds of each item sold will be donated to the research of a cure of ALS and support of those that are living with the disease. This necklace is available on a silver-plated snake chain in your choice of 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28 or 30 inches. The pendant is also available for separate purchase if you have another necklace on which you would like to wear it. Each item comes individually boxed and ready to give as a gift. This jewelry item has small parts and is not intended for children under the age of 13.
