This June, I will be participating in the Walk to End ALS in memory of my Mom, Ellen Sutherland, who passed away in 2010 after a six year battle with ALS in my hometown of Sudbury, Massachusetts.

We’re walking in loving memory of my mom, whose strength, kindness, and courage continue to inspire us every day. This walk is our way of honoring her life and helping to create a future without ALS. 

After experiencing this tragic loss at such a young age, I’ve seen firsthand how devastating and unforgiving this disease is and how urgently a cure is needed. I’m proud to walk in her honor and continue the fight in her legacy.

All are welcome to join our team on Saturday,  June 14, 2025!

Location: Riverbank Discovery Centre

. Now more than ever, the ALS community needs our support to provide hope and help to families affected by ALS. That’s why I’m joining thousands of others, a part of a passionate and motivated community to “walk” in celebration of hope and a world free of ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Please consider supporting me and donating towards this important cause.

Your support will help to:

• create a better day-to-day reality for people and families living with ALS by providing community-based support throughout Manitoba as well as necessary medical equipment like wheelchairs, liftchairs, mobility aids and other items that increase safety in the home, at no cost to those who need them.
• further scientific progress by investing in the ALS Canada Research Program, which funds promising ALS research. This program provides peer-reviewed grants to researchers whose work has the greatest potential to advance the field of ALS. There’s been more progress made in ALS research in the last five years than over the last century – we need to keep building on this momentum.

Join me in making a difference. Please consider donating to my fundraising page as we work towards a world free of ALS.

Your support is needed now more than ever - we are stronger together!
