The Walk to Defeat ALS is more than a fundraiser—it's a movement that unites us all in support of those affected by ALS. Our goal: make ALS livable for everyone, everywhere, until we can cure it. And it will take all of us to get there.

ALS is an always fatal neurodegenerative disease in which a person's brain loses connection with the muscles. People with ALS lose their ability to walk, talk, eat, and eventually breathe. ALS usually strikes people between the ages of 40 and 70, but it can strike anyone at any time. In the past year, over 20,000 people living with ALS served through our chapter network nationwide, including 800+ patients in the Greater Sacramento area.

Although there is not yet a cure or treatment that halts ALS, scientists have made significant progress in understanding what causes ALS. But their work is not done. Together, we work toward a cure.
