Race to End ALS

Race to End ALS is a campaign to raise critical funds for ALS research through high-performance driving events. Race to End ALS events invite novice and professional drivers to race around a course and compete for best time, all while raising funds for ALS research at the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI).

You can participate by hosting an event, racing in an existing event, or just coming to watch!

“Racing For ALS is about more than just fast cars-It’s about speeding to a cure for ALS!”

- David Lloyd, Jr., co-founder of Racing for ALS

Race to End ALS was inspired by David and Scott Lloyd, who founded the Racing for ALS campaign in 2018, following David's ALS diagnosis. Through “Race to End ALS”, we hope to grow their effort and increase funding for ALS research.

History - Race to End ALS

Race to End ALS was inspired by brothers David and Scott Lloyd. Growing up, David and Scott shared a love of fast cars, but as they got older, began careers, and had families, they kept putting off their dreams of auto racing. That all changed in 2017, when David was diagnosed with ALS. Realizing there was no better time than the present, David and Scott bought themselves a pair of high-performance cars and began organizing racing events to benefit ALS research through Racing for ALS.

The first annual Dave's Race, held in Virginia in 2018, raised over $20,000 for ALS research at ALS TDI. Since then, they've gone on to raise more than $200,000 for ALS TDI. In 2021, Racing for ALS and ALS TDI officially partnered to create a new fundraising program, Race to End ALS. Through Race to End ALS, they aim to bring together auto-racing fans and ALS community members across the country to support the critical research at ALS TDI.

“I pray that the Race to End ALS will lead to many good things in the fight against ALS! We look forward to working with ALS TDI on this, and hopefully generating some significant funds to help find a cure.”

- Scott Lloyd, Jr., co-founder of Racing for ALS
