What Is ALS?

Last time we spoke about ALS and talked about some of the important ways we might help, like fundraising.

Even though it’s July, we’d like to highlight a few places to find out where events are happening and how you might participate.

Alberta

Check out the ALS Alberta website. They have a handy calendar that lists events and explains how to register for an event or donate: http://www.alsab.ca/calendar.

Walk For ALS lists loads of opportunities for fundraising walks. Check them out here: http://walkforals.ca/find-a-walk/alberta/.

Although Best Health Magazine highlights events for all kinds of different health complications, they do have a big selection of ALS fundraising or awareness events here: http://www.besthealthmag.ca/best-you/alberta-events/

Manitoba

The ALS Society of Manitoba lists lots of ways to participate. An upcoming and very popular event is the Drive for Life Golf Classic. Read more and register here: http://alsmb.ca/events/

The Walk for ALS has a handy list of fundraising walks right here: http://walkforals.ca/find-a-walk/manitoba/

Ontario

The ALS Society of Ontario has numerous ways to get involved:

The Walk for ALS in Ontario lists over 30 different walks taking place. There is sure to be one near you: http://walkforals.ca/find-a-walk/ontario/

An important thing to remember, as Lou Gehrig said, “I might have had a tough break, but I have an awful lot to live for.” We couldn’t agree more. And fundraising and raising awareness can help others.
