Augie's Quest to Cure ALS

For everyone who participates in the 25,000 ON THE MOVE challenge, L&T will donate money to Augie's Quest, a Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) research initiative to find treatments and a cure for ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. You can make a personal donation online at the MDA's ClubsForTheCure.com.

ALS is a devastating disease that destroys nerve cells that control muscles. Those afflicted with ALS lose the ability to speak and ultimately suffer complete paralysis.

Augie's Quest was started in 2005 by Augie and Lynne Nieto after Augie was diagnosed with ALS. Augie Nieto has been a prominent leader in the fitness industry for nearly three decades as co-founder and former president of Life Fitness and chairman of Octane Fitness. Our industry is indebted to Augie for all that he has done and continues to do.

We urge you to join us in our quest to get 25,000 people moving for 25 days straight as part of L&T's 25-year anniversary celebration. Our efforts will help move the cure for ALS forward.
