Peter’s generosity was inspired by his own father’s ALS diagnosis in 1985, fueling his lifelong commitment to ALS research. Peter has always preferred to connect directly with the people who lead the programs he supports, and appreciates hands-on engagement with staff and volunteers, visits with researchers in the field, updates, and events hosted by the ALS Network.
As a former researcher himself, Peter understands challenges faced by scientists, which is why he has pledged sustained, multi-year support focused on scientific discovery. Peter has also included the ALS Network in his estate plan because he intends for his life and legacy to drive advancements in ALS therapy development — aiming for prevention, halting progression, and finding cures for ALS.
It is Peter’s strong belief in the effectiveness of the ALS Network’s integrated approach to accelerating scientific discovery and his experience with the organization that confirms his enthusiasm for powering the pioneering work of the ALS Network.
