Welcome
Past Events – Walk to End ALS – Virtual Walk 2020
This year, we’re turning the Walk events across the province into an online experience in light of the evolving situation with coronavirus (COVID-19) and physical distancing measures being taken to stop its spread. We will return to our regular live walks next year.
We know you understand what it means to be part of a resilient, brave and adaptable community and we’re excited to announce that this year, we’re coming together virtually to show our support for the Walk to End ALS!
ALS doesn’t stop and neither will we!
We invite you to join us online along with our National and International ALS communities on Global ALS Awareness Day: Sunday, June 21, 2020!
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!

ABOUT THE WALK TO END ALS
The Walk for ALS is now the Walk to End ALS!
Our new look and name capture our determination and drive to create a future without ALS.
The Walk to End ALS is the largest volunteer-led fundraiser for ALS Societies across Canada. Family-friendly and fun, it unites Canadians in their desire to put an end to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Celebrate hope for a future without ALS. Honour those we have loved and lost. Show support and give hope to clients and their families living with this disease.
HELP AND HOPE FOR PEOPLE AFFECTED BY ALS
Your fundraising efforts and generous donations enable ALS Societies to provide community-based support to people and families living with the disease and support the best ALS research in the country.
60% COMMUNITY-BASED SUPPORT
Sixty percent of proceeds directly benefit the ALS Society of Manitoba, enabling us to provide community-based support to people affected by ALS. Support varies by province based on the gaps within the healthcare system and can include educational information, referrals to local health care and community services, equipment assistance, home visits and support groups.
40% RESEARCH
Forty percent of proceeds are directed to the ALS Canada Research Program where they are invested in the best ALS research in Canada awarded annually following a peer-reviewed competition.
Help Us. Remember ALS doesn’t stop and neither will we!
