The Paul C. Apap ALS Foundation
Our Story.
December of 2009 was the first time Paul Apap realized something strange was happening to his muscles. He attended a Christmas party and had trouble holding onto a plate of food. He continued to notice signs of slowly weakening muscles in his arms and began to visit various doctors looking for an explanation. After many months of testing, he was diagnosed with ALS.
Our Mission.
The PCA Foundation’s mission as a non-profit organization is to assist people diagnosed with ALS in paying for medical expenses such as equipment and services. The organization is committed to lessening the expenses of this disease which can cost up to $200,000 annually to care for a single patient. The Foundation will also continue to support ALS research with the hope of finding an effective treatment and most importantly, a cure.
