Walk to Defeat ALS

There are many ways that you can support the ALS Association.  Some people who are on the outside looking in always seem to wonder “what can I do?”  The association is a resource that has made it possible for thousands of people who are living with ALS to remain in their homes, have the items necessary to have a quality of life and as a huge support for the caregiver. 

There are several things that you can do but one of the main thing that can include multitude’s of people is to participate in the Walk to Defeat ALS which happens across the country during various times of the year.  Click here to find out where there is a walk near you.  Create a team, join a team or donate to a team.  Either way, this is a great way for you to show your support.

So come on out and Walk to Defeat ALS…walk because you can!

Feel free to join team Jessie’s Crusaders in memory of my mother who lived with ALS from October 2008-August 2010.  We will be walking in her memory on October 29, 2011 at Brown’s Island in Richmond, VA.
