Our Money-Raising Campaign for ALS Research

Get my 3-book bundle Modern C++ Collection for half the price ($70 -> $35). I will donate the money to the ALS research.

Donation sum so far: $5800.

Let me start with the facts.

Research around ALS is Heavily Underfunded

Here is a statement from the ALS-Ambulanz, translated into English:

ALS is one of the “orphans of medicine” – rare diseases that are not the focus of social attention. Treatment is significantly underfunded, and there is also insufficient funding for ALS research. Donations and other third-party funding are of fundamental importance.

This underfunding has become apparent with the Ice Bucket Challenge.

Research requires more money. Here is my idea. Let’s make our money-raising campaign for ALS.

Our Money-Raising Campaign

Get my 3-book bundle Modern C++ Collection for half the price ($70 -> $35). The coupon is valid until the 21st of January (included).

The following three books are included in this bundle: The C++ Standard Library, Concurrency with Modern C++, and C++20.

I will donate all the money to the ALS-Ambulanz. The ALS-Ambulanz is part of the Charité and is leading in the research and treatment of ALS.
