This spring, I'll be participating in the ALS Canada Walk to End ALS. I'll be joining my mom, who was recently diagnosed with ALS in February of this year. She's always been a fighter who's full of unconditional love and support, so it's my time to return the favour to the most incredible woman I know. 

Now more than ever, the ALS community needs our support to provide hope and help to families affected by ALS. That’s why I'm 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 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.

Join me in making a difference. Please consider donating to my fundraising page as we work toward a world free of ALS.

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