The Walks are the principle fundraiser for ALS Ontario, which receives no government funding and relies entirely on the generosity of .private donors. Last year the Walks .raised $1.4 million to allow those living with ALS to receive assistive equipment at little or no cost,' attend support groups, and also medical researchers to continue work on finding a cure. ALS kills two to three people every day in Can- ada, and every day, two to three people are diag- nosed with ALS. There is no known cause, treat- ment or cure, and 80 per cent of those diagnosed will die within two to five years. The Walk for ALS is celebrating 10 years in Can- ada. Those who did not get a chance to support the Wingharn Walk this year can still do so by visiting www.walkforals.ca and following the prompts to makea donation.
