In Memory of Martin Vande Kraats We Walk and For Those Currently and in the Future Who Are Affected
Just shy of 6 years ago, and after a 3 year battle, we lost an amazing man to this horrible disease. He was a father, husband, son, brother, uncle, cousin, friend, co-worker, and so much more to so many people who's lives he touched. His legacy lives on in his family, but especially through his 2 children, Jorja and Cody. There isn't a day that goes by that he wouldn't be proud of who they have become today and will continue to become in the future. It is for him, for them, for other family members, and for the whole ALS community that is affected by this disease, that we continue to walk and support a cause that will hopefully bring an end to this devastating disease some day.
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!
