Since my diagnosis, I have participated in 9 Walks to End ALS (across 2 cities), and I intend to mark my 10th this year!  You have supported me and my family all along, through kind words, personal gestures, and generous donations to this key event.  Please continue to raise awareness and funds for ALS Canada.  

In 2024, we were part of an amazing team of advocates who secured almost $14 Million from the Province of Ontario to directly benefit Ontario ALS Clinics and ALS Canada's Equipment Program.  These funds will create a better future for ALS families, and save money for all Ontarians.  We are so proud that this type of progress is being made, and can serve as a model for other provinces.  

This page will be updated as the Walk nears.  In the meantime, thank you for your support - we need it now more than ever before!

This spring, 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:

• 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.  
• Create a better day-to-day reality for people and families living with ALS by providing community-based services throughout Ontario – this includes 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.  

Join our team in making a difference. Please consider donating to our team fundraising page as we work toward a world free of ALS.

United, we are stronger together!
