Walk to Defeat ALS
Our Walk to Defeat ALSŪ events are held between April and November throughout the Golden West Chapter's service area. These annual community outreach events are critical components of the Chapter’s care services, fundraising, and public awareness efforts in the fight against ALS. They are an opportunity to come together and honor people with ALS and their families, learn important information, and to show your support for the ALS community.
