ABOUT WALK ALS
For more than 30 years, ALS United Greater New York has worked tirelessly to ensure every person affected by ALS can access the support they need as we come together to find new treatments and a cure for ALS.
Walk ALS serves as the flagship fundraising event for ALS United Greater New York. It is a one-day celebration that includes families, caregivers, friends, colleagues, and advocates who support the fight to end ALS. Walk ALS prides itself on the community it builds and the relationships it fosters at these events.
Because of generous contributions from people like you, our organization can offer truly extraordinary patient care, second to none. Every person knows that their reach is far beyond the miles they walk. It extends to all ALS families, friends, and colleagues. Every dollar donated means more care service programs, research, and progress toward a cure.
