Project A.L.S. was founded in 1998, as a non-profit 501(c)3, when Jenifer Estess, a 35-year-old New York theater and film producer, was diagnosed with ALS. Told at the time of diagnosis to “max out her credit cards and eat junk food,” Jenifer instead committed her efforts to making a difference for people with ALS—and producing treatments and a cure. Historically, ALS research was conducted by committed ALS researchers working separately on various aspects of the disease. Project A.L.S. changed that approach dramatically by requiring that researchers and doctors from many disciplines work together, share data openly, and meet shared research milestones.

The purpose of the Spiritus Project is to provide various forms of direct, need-based financial assistance to adult cystic fibrosis patients in an effort to reduce stress and provide an improved quality of life. The initial focus of the Spiritus Project is to assist North Carolina-based cystic fibrosis patients. Through Q3, 2020, your support has allowed us to touch patient lives over 1,500 times in five years through financial assistance and/or hospital admission and refill bags. This means that roughly every day since we started, we have impacted a patient’s life in some meaningful way. Some impacts were large, some were small, but all helped us to achieve Jessica Link’s vision to improve the lives of adult cystic fibrosis patients.
