In May of 2023 my girlfriend Katy was diagnosed with ALS. In the time since, we have both learned how cruel this disease is. Just when we think we've got things figured out, new symptoms appear or existing symptoms worsen, and we need to overcome these new challenges. The ALS Society has helped us along the way, especially the Equipment Loan Program, which has provided us with essential equipment at no cost.

I am participating in the Walk to End ALS to help raise funds that will continue to make the Equipment Program - as well as other services provided by ALS Canada - possible. 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 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.

Your support is needed now more than ever – we are stronger together!
