I agree but just know that they will have to make some changes. I wonder if the

ALS Foundation provides support for the families. I'll have to check that out.

Dear Alice,

To the best of my legal knowledge, a non-profit organization can easily

amend its stated purpose, often called its mission statement, just by

resubmitting an IRS form.

For instance, we have seen non-profit hospitals change their designation

from " hospital " to " medical center " so that they could broaden the kind

of work they do.

Think of the MDA: so much of their income goes for non-research

endeavors like summer camps and their clinics.

I'll try to remember to have my mito brain check on this with those who

know.....

Thanks.
