The RG Foundation was started in our father, Dr. Raghav Gupta's name, to spread awareness and raise money for ALS research. He was diagnosed with ALS in 2017. For those who don't know about the disease, it gradually paralyzes you because the brain is no longer able to communicate with the muscles of the body that we are typically able to move at will. Over time, as the muscles of the body break down, someone living with ALS will lose the ability to walk, talk, eat, swallow, and eventually breathe. There is no cure for ALS, and no effective treatment to halt, or reverse the progression of the disease. Approximately 80 percent of people with ALS die within two to five years of being diagnosed.

Today, he has lost all functionality, except for his eyes. It has been extremely painful watching our father deteriorate to the point that my sister and I will never hear his voice or feel his hand squeeze ours back, and yet he is still here. We grieve the little losses every day. Our dad, as many of you know, is a hilarious, stylish, accomplished doctor, good friend, amazing father and husband, and adventurous man, who now must rely on machines to breathe, eat, and communicate.   

We need your help to raise funds so that we can donate to research, clinical trials, and pay for his care.  My family thanks you from the bottoms of our hearts.
