This spring we will be participating in the ALS Canada Walk to End ALS. As most of you know, my dad passed away from ALS in February 2024. Witnessing his progression throughout his illness was the most difficult thing our family has ever had to experience. Through it all, my dad was smiling and making people laugh with his jokes and quick wit. We want to keep his smile and spirit alive by pariticpating in the Walk to End ALS; not only as a means to keep his memory alive, but to hopefully help another family get the equipment they need and to fund research that might one day find a cure for this devastating illness. 

We appreciate any contribution and welcome anyone to join us on the walk on June 21st in my dad's memory.

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.

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!
