From the Help Dan Toler web site: "In 2011, Rock Legend "Dangerous Dan Toler" was diagnosed with with ALS. This site is dedicated to helping Dan meet medical & personal expenses while raising awareness to ALS. ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease), is Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and affects the central nervous system, making it difficult for the brain's messages to get to muscles. As Lou Gehrig's disease progresses, the brain has more and more trouble communicating messages to the muscles in the body. As a result, muscles weaken and make daily tasks difficult or even impossible. For those living with ALS, many daily tasks become difficult. Maintaining good health becomes vitally important.Some medications may provide relief for ALS symptoms. But leaves a lot to be desired."
