What is the Walk to Defeat ALS™?
The Walk to Defeat ALS™ is The ALS Association's national signature event. Each year, over 100,000 people including ALS patients, families, friends and corporate leaders join together to raise funds in support of The Association’s cutting-edge research and community-based patient services programs. Now in its tenth year, approximately 150 Walks will be held around the country in 2009.
On 2 different weekends, in 2 different cities in Colorado, over 2,000 people get together for one great cause - The Walk to Defeat ALS™. They come rain or shine!
We are proud to announce that in 2008 the Rocky Mountain Chapter Walks raised over $260,000 - a huge success! This year our goal is to raise even more money for continued programs and services on a local and national level.
