In October, ALS took someone who was very special to us. He was strong courageous and kept his sense of humor till the very end. We felt very hopeless when we saw how fast it took over his life, and how little we could do to help. We decided that participating in this walk would not only help with research of treatments and possibly a cure. But also help raise awareness of this disease, as we knew very little about it, until it blew up our world. We hope this will also help support others who are still battling. We walk because he can't, although he is with us, every step of the way. 

This summer I will be participating in the Walk to End ALS. Now more than ever, 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.

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

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