“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
Like ALS TDI, Racing for ALS was inspired by the love of brothers. Following David Lloyd's ALS diagnosis in 2017, he and his brother Scott decided to live life to the fullest and began Racing for ALS. Sadly, we lost David in July of 2023, but his legacy will live on through Racing for ALS.

History - Racing for ALS
Racing for 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 $400,000 for ALS TDI.
“I pray that Racing for 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
Our Mission
A portion of funds from Racing for ALS driving events benefit the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI).
ALS TDI is the world's most comprehensive drug discovery lab dedicated solely to ALS. As one of the world's only nonprofit biotech companies, we only answer to our supporters, the ALS community. Our research is funded by the ALS community, a global network of supporters whose lives have been affected by this disease, and who are unified to end ALS.
As the Drug Discovery Engine for ALS, they aim to discover new ALS drugs and work to advance them to human trials – until there are treatments for everyone with ALS.

About ALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Motor Neuron Disease (MND), Lou Gehrig's Disease, and Charcot's disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. This results in the wasting away of muscle, loss of movement and eventual paralysis. There are an estimated 30,000 people living with ALS in the United States at any given time. Every 90 minutes, someone is diagnosed with ALS.
