In December of 2022, my dad, Randy Watt, was diagnosed with ALS. After a courageous two-year battle, we lost him to this terrible disease.

Watching someone you love go through ALS is something no family is ever truly prepared for. The disease slowly takes away a person’s ability to walk, talk, eat, and eventually breathe — all while their spirit and love for their family remain fully intact. Despite everything he faced, my dad continued to show incredible strength, resilience, and courage throughout his journey.

Our family experienced firsthand how devastating ALS can be, but we also experienced the power of community, support, and compassion during the hardest moments of our lives.

Participating in the Walk for ALS is our way of honouring my dad’s memory, supporting other families facing this disease, and helping raise awareness and funding for research and care.

If you are able to donate, join the walk, or simply help spread awareness, it would mean so much to our family. Every contribution helps move us closer to a future without ALS.

Thank you for your support.
