Asking for donations from family and friends is always uncomfortable but when an ALS diagnosis touches someone you know and love, comfortable goes out the window.

As many of you know, in 2022 my brother Colin was diagnosed with ALS. His fortitude and bravery during these challenging years has been remarkable. On behalf of Colin and countless others who are dealing with this terrible disease, our family will be participating in the “Walk to End ALS 2025” event this summer in Oakville. 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.

Today I am reaching out in the hopes that you will consider donating to this worthy cause and if interested, we would love for you to walk with “COLIN’S CREW” in Oakville on June 21st.

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!
