Walkers Making a Difference

Living Loving Laughing Walkers
Congratulations to the Living Loving Laughing Walkers and our supporters for raising $6705 at the 2018 Walk for ALS!  Since 2014 our walk team has raised well over $27,000 for the ALS Society of Canada!  Woo Hoo!  If you include Robin's Curling for Carol, Dad's Amazing Evening, the Ryder's Christmas campaigns, and Heather's Hudson Valley Walk to Defeat ALS, as a team we have raised over $45,000 for ALS research and care (and that is not even including the Ice Bucket challenge donations).  WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!  I can't even tell you how you have lifted my spirits and provided me with hope with your generosity.

It was a beautiful day as you can see and I am so grateful to my team for travelling from Calgary (Keith!), Toronto, all over Quebec, and of course Ottawa!

It was such a pleasure to meet many people living with ALS whom I have connected to via social media and those who have searched out my blog.  I had no idea how many people actually read this!  It was so touching to meet you all in person and now that I know you look to this blog for help, I will be more diligent in my writing.  

Special thanks to Veronique at Social for hosting our beautiful and touching lunch.  Congratulations to your amazing mom Lise, who though just diagnosed a few months ago, has already advocated on behalf of ALS by participating in a CTV News interview as well as an Ottawa Citizen interview, well done!

Also, special thanks to the Brookstreet Hotel for donating a night's stay for the silent auction.

Our ALS community is a group of loving and fierce warriors!  Impossible to name you all but know you are always in my heart.
Still time to Donate!

So happy the sun shone on your lovely selves!

Cheers to contributions galore - past, present and future - can’t stop, won’t stop until there’s a treatment ... AND a cure.
