Welcome to The Angel Fund
Description
The Angel Fund is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting ALS investigations at the Cecil B. Day Laboratory for Neuromuscular Research at Massachusetts General Hospital, internationally recognized for its ground-breaking work in the fight against this devastating illness. The Angel Fund accomplishes this mission through fund-raising events and campaigns; acting as a conduit to the Day Lab for funds raised by associated events, and through public awareness initiatives such as direct mail programs, media relations and this Web Site.
The Angel Fund was established in 1997 by Ginny Delvecchio, herself an ALS patient. Ginny knew ALS all too well: both her mother and her brother had died of the same illness. Ginny’s spirit prevailed, however, and she worked tirelessly raising awareness of ALS and funds for research until the disease robbed her of the ability to do so. She died of ALS in August of 1998.
Since Ginny’s death, the Angel Fund has attracted growing support. It is infused with the energy and commitment of people, many of them personally touched by the tragedy of ALS, who are determined to prevail against this disease.
