What is the Walk to Defeat ALS?
It is a fundraising and public awareness event for Lou Gehrig’s disease that empowers people living with ALS, their friends and family, and the community to fight back against a disease that often leaves many feeling powerless. The money raised by the walk funds ALS research and the equipment and programs offered free of charge to people affected by ALS by The ALS Association.

There is no known cause or cure for ALS. People with ALS typically live between two and five years after being diagnosed.
