LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a devastating diagnosis that steals a person’s mobility and speech. Fortunately, there are high-tech gadgets available today that can help patients stay connected with their families.

But this technology is expensive. That’s why the West Texas ALS Support Group raised money at its annual Unmasking ALS Masquerade Ball, which took place Saturday.

The money raised goes towards its equipment closet, where patients in the area can borrow what they need during their illness.

The organization also offers monthly support group meetings, mini-grants for medication and home modifications, travel expenses for clinic visits, and much more.
