ALS is not incurable. It's underfunded. Together we can change that.

Every dollar counts! Please donate to help fund a cure--in return, I'll match every dollar you give so that your donation dollars go twice as far.  

Let's do this!
 

Peer-to-Peer fundraising empowers you to make a difference! Team Hop is a family of ambitious and creative supporters committed to finding a cure for ALS. You, too, can help by mobilizing your network by sharing this page with your friends, family, and co-workers.

WHAT IS HOP ON A CURE?

John Driskell Hopkins, celebrated by many as “Hop”, is a founding member, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist of the GRAMMY award-winning Zac Brown Band. In 2019, Hop noticed some unusual difficulties when playing his guitar.  Two years later, he was diagnosed with ALS.  Hop and his wife, Jennifer, created Hop On A Cure Foundation. Hop On A Cure is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is committed to supporting research to prevent, reverse, and cure ALS while raising awareness.

WHAT IS ALS? 

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a motor neuron disease that attacks the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, affecting movement, speech, and even breathing. For some, progression can be rapid; for others, it can be slower. Though the rate of progression can vary, ALS is 100% fatal. The life expectancy after diagnosis is 2-5 years.
