Cure ALS Raglan Navy/White

The Cure ALS Campaign

In December of 2020 Richard Aspinwall, father of Derek Aspinwall Founder and Owner, was diagnosed with ALS also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. ALS is a progressive neurological disease that targets the body’s ability to call the muscle into action and is eventually terminal.

ALS was first discovered in 1869 by French neurologist Jean Martin Charcot and became more widely known as Lou Gehrig’s disease when the New York Yankees slugger was diagnosed with it in 1939. He passed away from this disease on June 2, 1941.

On June 2nd 2021, owner Derek's birthday, it was officialy named Lou Gehrig's Day in Major League Baseball. The Aspinwall family are avid baseball fans which is why the first t-shirt being offered in this campaign is a baseball style raglan with Lou Gehrig's number and name on the back.

Even though this disease has been around since 1869 or earlier we still know very little about this disease. After the diagnosis of ALS to Richard Aspinwall, Aspinwall Mountain Wear has taken up the case to combat this vicious enemy through prayer, funding, research and our community.  This campaign plans to send $15 of every shirt sold directly to research a cure for ALS. We ask for faith prayers that God will break through and give us and the world wisdom and understanding regarding this brutal disease.
