This is a request to help accelerate the discovery of treatments and a cure for ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. You can help by donating to Prize4Life.

Prize4Life is an organization created by Avi, who was diagnosed with ALS at age 29 while studying at the Harvard Business School. I personally heard about Avi from a mutual friend. His friends help him in the fight against the disease and in the efforts to raise money to advance research to find a cure for this awful disease.

This is truly an amazing story, of a person that upon learning the horrible news of having ALS, instead of giving up on life, launched an organization, Prize4Life, to make sure scientist will devote time and have resources to study the disease and hopefully find a cure for it.

I decided to make my modest contribution by spreading the word. I also ask you to help me reach the goal of raising $1800 together with my personal circle of friends and family. Any amount will be appreciated!

Yours truly,
Anat

Avi Kremer Wins Israeli Prime Minister's Prize

October 18, 2011

The Israeli Office of the Prime Minister recently announced it would be awarding Prize4Life CEO and co-founder Avi Kremer with the "Prime Minister's Prize for Initiatives and Innovations Not for Profit."

The Prizes are designed to encourage and promote innovative and creative thinking in business ventures that have the potential to inspire significant changes in science, technology and society. "I am flattered and humbled to receive this prize," said Avi Kremer, "The decision of the distinguished national committee is a testament to the innovation and impact of the Prize4Life model—an efficient and results-oriented model that has already proven its worth in helping to advance ALS research. This prize belongs to the thousands of people who have supported Prize4Life since its founding as much as it belongs to me."

Read a release detailing the award from the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu here.

The Prime Minister's Prizes will be awarded for the second time in history during a ceremony at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel on November 15, 2011 as part of Israel's participation in Global Entrepreneurship Week. More than one hundred countries will take part in the roundtable conferences and collaborative sessions highlighting entrepreneurship worldwide from November 14-20, 2011.
