June 21st  we will be participating in the ALS Canada Walk to End ALS.  Bob's office has organized a team called Deb's Dinosaurs, after my love of picking people up at the airport in a Dinosaur costume. You can walk with us, donate, or walk virtually.

This is a really devasting disease as healthy people get it and don't feel sick and within two to five years we lose them. There is no bad habit that gives it to you, there is nothing you have done in your life to cause it to happen. How can we not fight this?

Your support will help to:

• Further scientific progress by investing in the ALS Canada Research Program, which funds promising ALS research 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 am hoping to be a part of a clinical trial that finds a cure.
• 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.
