About the Walk to End 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 for the 3,000 Canadians and their families living with the disease. **In 2020, Walks are taking place virtually because of COVID-19. Although we can’t walk together, we’re all in this together. Because ALS doesn’t stop, and neither will we.**
Help and Hope for people affected by ALS
Your fundraising efforts and generous donations support the best ALS research in the country and enable ALS Societies to provide community-based support to people and families living with the disease.
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.
60% Community-Based Support
Sixty percent of proceeds directly benefit your provincial ALS Society, enabling it 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.
