We are proud to team up with Life Time and their members to raise critical funds toward our mission of driving breakthroughs in ALS research and empowering hope for a future without this fatal disease," said Gretchen Simoneaux, Vice President of Augie's Quest to Cure ALS.

Augie's Quest is dedicated to supporting ALS research and empowering hope for a future without the disease. By accelerating research, enhancing patient care and raising awareness in the fight to cure ALS. The nonprofit organization was founded by Augie Nieto, a former athlete who founded the organization in 2005 following his own diagnosis with ALS that same year. Nieto cofounded Life Fitness, the fitness equipment company, that many Life Time members are likely familiar with from using the machines in the company's athletic country clubs.

The Life Time Foundation was established to inspire Healthy People, a Healthy Planet and a Healthy Way of Life. Beginning in 2011, the Life Time Foundation prioritized the 'Healthy People' aspect of its mission by supporting children's health through youth nutrition and, more recently, youth movement programs. With an eye toward the 'Healthy Planet' element of its mission, the Life Time Foundation now is expanding focus on forestation and conservation efforts to help combat climate change driven by fast-rising amounts of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere.
