Knockout ALD

💙Great to see the team at the U of M ALD research lab with our updated donation plaque. Looks like we are in need of a bigger plaque as we enter our 10th year! 😄💪🏻
Plans are already in the works for our 10th Annual Run for ALD this November. We hope to make it our biggest yet in honor of this milestone in raising awareness and support of ALD research! Stay tuned ! 🥊🏃🏼‍♂️

Thank you to Cure ALD and Terry Wiener for featuring Knockout ALD as part of their Women in ALD feature for Women's History Month! We are humbled and honored to collaborate with and support another wonderful ALD organization and ALD family dedicated to making a difference in the ALD community!

💙🥊Knockout ALD is pleased to send another check ($5,600) to the lab team at the University of Minnesota for the ALD Research Fund thanks in large part to Team John Vittrup Callahan and a Nordstrom matching grant.

✍️ Along with this, we are also able to send more cards of good wishes from one of our local elementary school Let Me Run teams. The cards will be delivered to the Child Life specialists for patients on the BMT floor, many of whom are fighting ALD. 💙
Thanks to Dr. Lund and his ALD research lab team for their continued cutting edge work in the fight against ALD.🥊

💙🦓On this Rare Disease Day, we stand and support all rare disease families, especially ALD families, in their fight, their courage, their battles, their hope, and their miracles. WE ARE RARE. 💪🏻🥊

💙🦓🥊February is Rare Disease Month and Knockout ALD stands with all those battling rare diseases, especially adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). ALD is an X-linked genetic disease affecting about 1 in 17,000 people.
💪🏻💙We honor our ALD warriors and their families, caregivers, and medical teams as we continue to raise awareness and funds for research for a brighter tomorrow. Check out links in our bio to learn more!

💙Knockout ALD was humbled to be celebrated by the University of Minnesota Foundation with a large check in honor of our 2025 total donations to the ALD research fund. Our total lifetime donations now exceed $350,000 to help ensure research continues in the ALD lab at the U of M. Thank you for helping us bring the hope of early diagnosis and better treatment options as we support the important work of Dr. Lund and his team.
Here’s to more progress in 2026! 💪🏻🥊💙

💙All the feels keep coming from our 9th Annual Run for ALD! A kind surprise bonus this year: some of the over 300 boys from the nonprofit Let Me Run St. Louis organization who participated in our event also completed a small service project. They chose to make uplifting cards for some of the patients on the BMT floor , several of whom are receiving treatment for cerebral ALD. The boys’ heartwarming and sincere words I’m sure will bring some much-needed smiles to our warriors. 💪🏻💙.
Thank you !
