This summer I am choosing to fundraise for  the ALS Canada Walk to End ALS. This past year I have seen first-hand what ALS can do and how it affects not only the individuals life, but their family as well. This being said, I plan to attend and fundraise, yearly, for as long as I can, in memorial to the person I have lost. I hope that my fundraising can help provide support for those with ALS and their families. Unfortunately, I will be out of town for the event, however, my father will be participating in the walk.

Please consider supporting me and this cause by and donating towards it.

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.

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