This summer we will be participating in the Walk to End ALS in Sault Ste Marie.

Colin was diagnosed with ALS in August 2022 at the age of 60. The ALS Society of Canada have been a constant support from the start and have provided costly medical equipment for our use at home, and also have support groups for us to meet with other patients and caregivers. Right now, there is no cure for ALS and research is needed to try to work towards a future where a diagnosis is not a death sentence. 

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 future without 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.
• 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 towards a future without ALS.

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