This June I will be participating in the ALS Canada Walk to End ALS. Over this past year we have watched our very good friend Paul, deal with all the challenges of ALS and it has been heartbreaking.   Requiring a breathing machine now more than he doesn't need it, being in a wheelchair now because he no longer has the strength to use a walker, we are seeing first hand how much help ALS patients and their families need.  My hope through your donations that a cure for this horrible disease can be found. 

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!! 

From the bottom of my heart thank you !

Joanne
