ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis – also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease that causes those living with the diagnosis to become progressively and irreversibly paralyzed. At this time ALS has no known cure or effective treatment and within 2-5 years, 80% of people with ALS will die.
We must come together to learn more and help fund research towards a cure. Will you help out?
Why not begin by familiarizing yourself with a little background information - the ALS Society of Canada is a terrific source of facts, figures and stories.
If you’d like to get more hands-on with your help (or “feet-on” to be more accurate!) throughout June there will be dozens of Walks for ALS scheduled across Canada, with many local walks organized in multiple Ontario communities.
For a listing of Walks for ALS check out this location and date index. ALS WALKS.
C’mon – get on your sneakers, get out and walk… Get Involved!
