ALS research and support has been an cause that's been very important to me for many years since I first read the book "Tuesdays with Morrie" which details University Professor, Morrie Schwartz's battle with ALS. (Which I have reread MANY times since). Also through watching the videos of Brooke Eby (@limpbroozkit) on Instagram as she has documented her whole ALS journey these last few years. 

Because of this, I've decided that for my first ever charity walk/run, I wanted to take part in the Walk to End ALS in Charlottetown this summer. 

Your support will help to:

• Create a better day-to-day reality for people and families living with ALS by providing community-based support throughout PEI - 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.
• Further scientific progress by investing in the ALS Canada Research Program, which funds promising ALS research. 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.

Please donate to my fundraising page to support me in my first charity run and help us work towards a world free of ALS!!
