Connect With Us

Never Surrender Inc. has one simple goal: to help people living with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease).

We raise funds by providing VIP outdoor experiences to our fundraising participants — we lovingly call them our Never Surrender Family. They combine their passion for fighting ALS with a passion for the great outdoors. This family acts as a small army if you will, who continue to push the fundraising limits in hopes of ending this disease.

All net proceeds stay LOCAL to the Midwest area, supporting our local communities. We believe that every person who has ALS deserves the same access to critical care and treatments as someone who lives near a major medical facility.
We provide funding for programs that support individuals affected by ALS as well as research initiatives. Discover the projects we have funded, listen to testimonials from recipients of our grants, and review press releases detailing our achievements. Learn More>>

If you’ve been diagnosed with ALS, you should start out by talking to your doctor or member of your care team to find out what resources may be available to you.

It’s always a good idea to get a second opinion when dealing with a serious diagnosis like ALS. ALS is not an easy disease to diagnose, and it’s been estimated that as many as 15% of ALS cases are misdiagnosed. Because ALS is a rather rare disease, many doctors have limited or no experience diagnosing it.

When getting a second opinion, try to find a medical specialist who has experience working with people living with ALS. There are some clinics that focus exclusively on serving people with ALS.

If you are seeking resources and support, we recommend you contact The ALS Association, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, or if you are a veteran, contact the Veteran’s Affairs office near you.

If you are looking for medical trials, we currently have a partnership with the Healey ALS Platform Trial with Massachusetts General Hospital. Locally, we provide the funding for the trial being brought to Essentia Health, in Duluth MN.

Take an unforgettable bicycle ride on the unforgettable Mesabi Trail. Stretching from the Mississippi to the Boundary Waters, with over 150 miles of paved trail, the Mesabi Trail is like no other in the country. Cutting through the forests of northeast Minnesota, your adventure will take you past lakes, creeks and ponds, by vast red pits of old iron ore mines now filled with emerald green water. You are sure to be greeted by native wildlife during your travels. You will pass through several of the 28 communities, connected by the Mesabi Trail. When completed (in 1-2 years), this well-mapped and well-maintained trail will traverse almost 165 miles, making it one of the longest paved trails in the United States. There are only two sections remaining. Never Surrender Inc is doing its part to make this event an unforgettable cycling experience. Beginner and experienced cyclists can participate in this fully-supported ride on Minnesota's Iron Range every September.

We are on a mission to help the hundreds of people who are affected by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease), affects over 18,000 people in the United States. Every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed and someone passes away from ALS. There is currently no cure for ALS and only 3 drug treatment options available to people living with ALS. Our goal is fairly simple at Never Surrender Inc: We want to help those who have ALS, while also helping to find a cure.
