Welcome to the Annual Walk to Defeat ALS®

Margaret MeadWalk to Defeat ALS® is The ALS Association's national signature event. Now in its fifth year, approximately 140 Walks will be held around the country. Last year, walkers nationwide raised $7.1 million in support of cutting-edge research and patient services programs.

The Walks are one of the most substantial and direct ways each individual can make a difference in the fight to "Defeat" ALS.

Everyone is Welcome!
