Now through Sept. 30, 24 Hour Fitness members and fans can make a donation online to support Augies Quest and ALS research.

24 Hour Fitness is honored to raise awareness in support of Augies Quest and Augies brave mission to find a cure for ALS, said Carl Liebert, president and chief executive officer, 24 Hour Fitness. Thousands of people are diagnosed with ALS each year and every single donation gets us that much closer to a cure.
