Hundreds of local residents will lace up their shoes on Sunday, September 24 to participate in the annual Walk to Defeat ALS®! The event is the premier fundraiser for The ALS Association Central & Southern Ohio Chapter, generating most of the revenue that provides FREE services to people living with ALS and their families in 55 counties across Ohio.
The public is invited to join people with ALS and their families at the Walk to raise the money for essential local services and to continue to raise the profile of Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Team spirit will be widely visible, with participants sporting their own customized team shirts and carrying signs to demonstrate their support, honor loved ones, and remember those who have passed away.
