To our family and friends.

On June 2nd our family will be participating in the ALS Canada Walk to End ALS a disease that was diagnosed in Barbara last summer.  Now more than ever, the ALS community needs our support to provide hope and help to families like ours, and many less fortunate than us, who have been affected by ALS. That’s why we're joining thousands of others, as 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 has 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 to find a cure for this debilitating disease.

Join our team in making a difference. Consider joining "Team Held's Heroes on June 2 in Newmark as we roll, stroll and push along.

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