About the Walk

The largest volunteer-led fundraiser for ALS Societies across Canada, the Walk to End ALS is a fun, family-friendly way to celebrate hope for a future without ALS, honour those we have loved and lost, and show support for the 3,000 Canadians and their families living with the disease. Your fundraising efforts and generous donations support the best ALS research in the country (40% of proceeds) and enable ALS Societies to provide community-based support (60% of proceeds) to people and families living with the disease.

In 2021, Walks across the country will be taking place virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although we can’t walk together, we’re all in this together. Because ALS doesn’t stop, and neither will we.

Together, we can achieve more

ALS Societies across Canada work together to maximize our collective impact and make the greatest difference for people and families living with ALS. Our approach as eight independent organizations working in partnership enables us to respond to the variation that exists between provincial healthcare systems where we each play a role in filling gaps by providing community-based support. Collectively through initiatives like the Walk to End ALS, ALS Societies across Canada fund the ALS Canada Research Program, which funds peer-reviewed research grants and fosters collaboration among Canadian researchers, helping to nurture new ideas and build capacity. Through provincial and federal advocacy, ALS Societies give voice to the collective experience of people living with ALS to help drive program and system changes for the ALS community.
