Lou Gehrig's name became synonymous with ALS many years ago. On July 4, 1939, he braved the horrors of this disease and addressed the crowd at Yankee stadium, saying "Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth." As a credit to him and to all who have faced or are dealing with this dreaded disease, we walk.We walk in hope of seeing an end to ALS.

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 Newfoundland & Labrador - like home visits and support groups – as well as necessary medical equipment like hospital beds, wheelchairs, stairlifts 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.
