00:00 25 years of Project ALS and it's been such a gift for us to be we were talking about it

00:12 Has become a true family Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor stepping out to support

00:17 Project ALS and making it a family affair

00:21 And I really feel like that so many of the families here who have either been impacted

00:27 Directly or have just been a part of Project ALS from the beginning. It's been kids have shown up

00:33 We've had bowling events. We've had it's been so kid-friendly from the beginning and it's a family organization, you know

00:39 And that's the thing. It's it's very very like I said, it's very personal and I think everybody here has a personal connection in some way

00:45 And you know, it's a devastating disease and when people rally around with something like this happens

00:50 It's it's it's coming from a place of love and connection. So that's what the organization is about

00:57 Research all of the money goes to research and that's the most important

01:32 Taylor and stiller project ALS holds a special place in Ben's heart. He's been involved with the organization for over two decades

01:41 I think the strength of the will of the estes sisters who started the organization when Jennifer got diagnosed back in

01:48 1998 and her doctors told her that there was no hope and there was nothing to do and she didn't want to accept that and

01:54 they got together and called all their friends and said we have to do something and here we are 25 years later and

02:00 We actually have a new medicine that's in clinical trials that ALS project ALS has helped

02:07 Get to this point. So it's an amazing organization. It's family. It's personal, but it's also
