On Sunday, October 6, people living with ALS, along with family members, friends, caregivers and others affected by ALS, will come together for the 2024 Walk to Defeat ALS Toledo, held at Glass City Metropark’s pavilion, 1505 Front Street, Toledo.
All funds raised by the event will provide help and hope for those living with ALS by supporting patient care, advocacy and research to help find treatments and a cure for the fatal disease.
ALS, often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive motor neuron disease that gradually robs people of their ability to walk, talk, swallow and eventually breathe.
Lily Lowndes of 13ABC will emcee the event.
Interested participants can visit walktodefeatals.org, where they can register to walk, create a team with custom T-shirts and collaborative fundraising goals, and other opportunities to help fight ALS.
