On June 9, I will be participating in the ALS Canada Walk to End ALS. 

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. I have benefited from this support.
• 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. I attended the ALS Research Forum and got a sense of the great work, and great people, seeking to advance our knowledge of ALS.

Please consider donating to my fundraising page and help take a step toward a world free of ALS.
