This will be my 11th year participating in the Walk to End ALS. I will be walking for my brother Brian, who is living with ALS and also in memory of my Mom, who died from this dreadful disease 37 years ago. The ALS community needs our support to provide hope and help to families affected by ALS/MND. 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.

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

Thank you,

Susan
