On June 1st 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, like ours,  affected by ALS. There are many research scientists all over the world working on clinical trials.  Several drugs slow down the disease, but so far there is no cure.  This is the 2nd time we've joined others, as part of a passionate and motivated community to “walk” in celebration of hope and a world free of ALS. Please consider joining Team MacBenny Ottawa and walking with us on June 1st.   With your donations we are one step closer to a world free of 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 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!
