In 2017 my father, Mike Rannie, was diagnosed with ALS. In 2020 he passed away from the condition right at the beginning of the year. 5 years later, our team continues to walk in his honor to continue raising money for ALS so that people who also receive this diagnosis are able to have a plan forward and help from their community to live with it. Our team will once again be joining the Ottawa ALS walk in 2025 with the support of his friends and family as well as our own.

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!
