One Walk, One Day, One Community, One Important Goal!
October 23, 2021 -- Live Opening Ceremony at 11:30am (PDT)/8:30am (HST)
Walk - Roll - Hike your way, all day long and all WALK-tober long.
For the first time ever, on October 23, teams representing 31 California counties and the entire state of Hawaii will walk on the same day to spread awareness, raise funds, and build community in the urgent effort to defeat ALS. Select your Walk community below or click Register Today to find the Walk closest to you and join the movement!
At the Golden West Chapter of The ALS Association, people with ALS and their families come first. To ensure the safety of our ALS community during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Walk to Defeat ALS will be wherever you call home or wherever you are on the globe in the month of WALK-tober! Host your Walk to Defeat ALS activities your way. You can walk, run, cycle, hike, eat, or drive to defeat ALS. We'll provide Walk-day Team Kits and supplies, and staff and volunteers are available to you for coaching and assistance in the months leading up to the event.
The Countdown Challenge is on! Learn more HERE.
