What a busy last few months it has been! Heading into our #WalktoEndALS weekend, extremely proud of our ALS community. Tune in on Sunday at 10:00am for our Virtual Start Line, followed by the Virtual Finish Line at 12:00pm on @ALSCanada Facebook live!
My 5 year old gave me a flying hug tonight, wrapping her little arms around my waist. I simultaneously smiled and fought back tears. As I shuffled to my room after the hug all I kept thinking was, Not today ALS. Not ever.
Good night moon.
The Walk is less than a week away and we have so many feelings! Think about how next week will feel when we all unite as a community and celebrate Walk day. Now, what’s the one word that comes to mind? Let us know in the comments. #ALSNeverChangeWhy#WalktoEndALS@ALSCanada
I know those kids! 👇🏻 We walk to honour my wife’s Mother Wendy (who would have gotten such a kick out of this video). She personified positivity & loved to laugh. To all of the Mother’s, Father’s, Son’s, Daughter’s, Family & Friends affected by ALS - We Walk for You too!
Since 2009 the Georgetown Acton Walk to End ALS has raised over $1,927,000. We could not have done it without the support of this great community. Register today and help us get past the $2 million mark. @RickBonnette1
The #ALS community’s message is clear – Cdns need faster access to new ALS therapies. We responded to Health Canada’s rare disease consultation sharing this urgent need - TY to all our survey participants. Read more: https://t.co/Zn8Dbw4EFb @PattyHajdu
Last June 17 I was given one year to live. I should have lost the ability to walk, talk, eat and breathe. Instead, I took three steps back, two to the left and did this #TrickShot4Snowy. What a day this would be if everyone watching this donates $1 at https://t.co/rgWfPCOrpt.
