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 Golden West Chapter Walk to Defeat ALS Warm-up!
We are excited to introduce you to a brand new way to be a part of something BIG and to make a difference in the movement to defeat ALS. Join with the Golden West Chapter in using Challenge Hound, an awesome platform used by nonprofits and organizations for group challenges. Starting today through October 23 (Walk Day), you can dedicate every mile you walk to help raise awareness and support for 1800 families facing ALS that we serve!
We have set a goal to collectively cover 1800 miles in honor of the 1800 families facing ALS served by the Golden West Chapter. Whatever action you take, your efforts will help advocate for and empower our ALS community!
Whether you walk, roll, hike, dance, parade, or run, it all counts towards our 1800 mile goal. You can manually log your activity on Challenge Hound or connect your favorite activity app to automatically sync!
