About the Walk to End ALS
The Walk to End ALS stands as Canada’s premier volunteer-driven fundraiser for ALS Societies nationwide. This family-friendly event fosters unity among Canadians, all sharing a common goal: eradicating Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. It’s a celebration of optimism for a future free from ALS, a tribute to cherished memories, and a beacon of support and encouragement for those affected by this disease and their families.
Help and Hope for People Affected by ALS
Through your fundraising endeavors and gracious contributions, ALS Societies can extend vital community-based assistance to individuals and families affected by the disease. Additionally, your support fuels top-tier ALS research initiatives nationwide.
60% Community-Based Support
Sixty percent of proceeds directly support the ALS Society of Manitoba, empowering us to offer tailored community-based aid to those impacted by ALS/MND. Assistance varies by province, addressing gaps in healthcare systems and encompassing educational resources, local healthcare and community service referrals, equipment aid, home visits, and support groups.
