Once a year we will now have a chance to meet all together to celebrate Bill's life and all of the contributions that he made to so many lives.  Walking with ALS will also give us a chance to fundraise towards the goal of finding a cure for this horrible disease - so we would love to have all of you with walking with us. 

As Bill was very passionate about many sports all thru his life - I wanted to ask something to make this walk truly Bill's.  I wanted to ask that when we come to walk for him - that we bring something, or dress a certain way that signifies how we met him or knew him.  For example if you knew him thru paddling possibly bring a paddle or canoe etc.  If you knew him thru biking bring a bike and so on and so forth.  I know he would love that and would be smiling down on us from heaven  :)

So, please let us know as soon as you can if you can walk with us on June the 9th or donate towards the walks for us.  Would love to have you there.  Also it would be great if we can each bring something for a potluck lunch at the park after or meet up somewhere close by.

Hope to hear from you all soon  :)

This summer we will be participating in the ALS Canada Walk to End ALS. Now more than ever, the ALS community needs our support to provide hope and help to families affected by ALS. That’s why we're joining thousands of others, a part of a passionate and motivated community to “walk” in celebration of hope and a world free of ALS. Please consider supporting our team 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 Ontario – 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. The ALS Canada Research Program is the only national dedicated source of funding for ALS research across Canada. 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 our team in making a difference. Please consider donating to our team fundraising page as we work toward a world free of ALS.

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