The ALS Canada Walk to End ALS is a powerful, community-driven event uniting Canadians in the fight against ALS. With over 20 walks taking place across Ontario—and virtual participation options available—this event brings together individuals living with ALS, families, caregivers, and supporters to raise awareness and critical funds for ALS support and research.

More than just a fundraiser, the Walk to End ALS is a space to connect, remember, and show strength. It’s a heartfelt celebration of those we have lost, a demonstration of solidarity with those currently affected, and a rallying point for hope and change.

Join thousands of participants across the province as we walk together toward a future without ALS.
