Is to stand side by side with families and individuals facing the challenges of ALS.

With this pledge we will add another pillar of hope and strength for these families and individuals facing the challenges of ALS, to lean on in their times of need. 

Our quest is to finish the 'Race to the Cure' for ALS, keep burning a 'Flame of Hope' in each one of us, and 'Change the World with Big Fat Love'.

This three fold quest may seem a daunting undertaking, but nothing is further from the truth when you apply kindness and love, just a few of our core values.

Our Causes

Our mission, vision, goals, values, pledge and quest are the foundations to bring about our Big Fat Love causes. Below you will find several causes centered around Big Fat Love.

• 'Change the World with Big Fat Love' Act in kindness and love without expectations in return or take the words of Albert Schweitzer - "You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it’s a little thing, do something for others – something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it." - Learn more... click here.

• 'Race to the Cure' For ALS, is the race to the finish line in finding the cure for ALS. Every day 15 more individuals and families become entangled in the challenges of ALS and Big Fat Love wants to do its part by celebrating life through Big Fat Love moments (events) to raise awareness, enrich understanding and support teamwork and communication within the ALS community giving individuals and families hope through our ability to work together in one purpose. - Learn more... click here.

• 'Flame of Hope' In this 'Race to the Cure' for ALS, we cannot succeed without keeping our 'Flame of Hope' alive and burning bright in each one of us. And it all begins with us sharing Big Fat Love moments with each other, one person, one moment at a time. These simple acts of kindness foster common bonds of love and gratitude, even among our diversities. - Learn more... click here.
