My mother in law Brenda was an amazing strong women who lost her battle with ALS. Brenda was a caring, funny, loving person who loved her family especially her grandkids and always supported them. She always wanted to be at my daughters dance or baseball and my sons hockey or soccer. Even after her diagnose, Brenda still wanted to support her grandkids and watch them doing the things they loved. When ALS made it too difficult for her to attend, she asked us to make sure we took lots of pictures and videos so she could still see them doing what they love. Watching Brenda go through ALS and not being able to do the things she loves, was heartbreaking. Watching her children, fiancée and grandchildren go through this diagnosis was heartbreaking. This year my children and I will walk for Memere. ❤️

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!
