Help our team create a world free of ALS
We are 'Joy's JM Crew'. We are grade school classmates from John Marshall School - SINCE KINDERGARTEN! Graduating class of 1984! We are rallying together to show our love and support for Joy DiCosimo (nee Hessell) and her family as we participate in the upcoming ALS Walk. Joy was diagnosed in August 2023 and the progression of her disease has been rapid. We are here to stand by her and her family and countless others who have battled and are continuing to battle this horrible illness. Our JM Crew has an incredible life long bond. "SIDE BY SIDE OR MILES APART, FRIENDS ARE ALWAYS CLOSE AT HEART"
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
