Wired for Hope

Approximately 5 000 people in the United States are diagnosed with ALS each year, contributing to an estimated 300 000 individuals living with the disease worldwide. There is currently no cure. Jake Schneider’s involvement in Neuralink’s trials not only improves his own quality of life; it advances a technology that could one day benefit millions of people facing similar neurological challenges.

You can join this mission in several ways:

• Donate to the ALS Association: Jake has launched a fundraiser supporting The ALS Association, a leading organisation dedicated to research, advocacy and care services. Your contribution fuels the search for treatments and helps people living with ALS today. Donate here.
• Share Jake’s Story: Follow Jake on TikTok at @pairedwith_p7 and share his videos to amplify awareness of ALS and the promise of brain–computer interfaces.
• Advocate for Responsible Innovation: Engage in discussions about brain‑computer interface research and help ensure that breakthroughs are developed ethically, with attention to privacy, informed consent and equitable access.

Together we can accelerate the pace of innovation and help transform the lives of people living with ALS. Your support, advocacy and willingness to learn make a tangible difference in building a future where neurological barriers no longer limit human potential.
