Hello everyone, last year my husband Jim Tanevski and I walked together with our team to fight for a cure for ALS. This year, I’m walking in loving memory of my dear husband. He lost his courageous fight with this horrible disease in January 2025. He was so determined to be here and hope for a miracle – a breakthrough in treatment that might have saved his life. Sadly, that was not to be. But I know from his kind and generous nature that he would want us to honour his memory by contributing one more time to the cause. We were thankful for the support we received from the ALS Society through equipment that made his life a little more comfortable and so it’s important to me to give back again to help someone else. I would like to sustain the hope Jim embraced that someday a cure will be found and no one else will have to lose their life to this disease. If you can find it in your heart to donate again this year, we would be so grateful. Please pass on this link to your friends and colleagues, maybe we can make a difference.

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.  

Help us make a difference. Please consider donating to our fundraising page as we work toward a world free of ALS.

United, we are stronger together!
