WALK-tober starts NOW! The ALS Association Golden West Chapter and our ALS community are gathering to Walk to Defeat ALS, in support of essential ALS care services, important public policy initiatives, and cutting-edge ALS research.

Together, we can defeat ALS.

Please select your Walk community below to join the movement and support ALS care and research while bringing help and hope to the more than 1800 families facing ALS that we serve.

If you are unable to attend in person, we invite you to sign up as a virtual participant and experience our live-streamed programming at select sites, brought to you from the start line and stage. Walk Your Way and be sure to share and post pictures of your walk and use the hashtags #WalkToDefeatALS and #ourALScommunity.

Fundraising tools at your fingertips

Did you know that you can raise money for this year’s Walk through Facebook? Connect your fundraising page with Facebook's Fundraising platform to easily ask for support from your network! 

We've Gone Mobile!

Your fundraising has gone mobile thanks to the Walk to Defeat ALS mobile & tablet app. Now you can fundraise on the go by sending emails, monitoring your fundraising progress and updating your page. 

T-Shirts

Participants who raise $100 or more will receive this year's official event t-shirt! This benefit is awarded to individuals, not teams or donors, so make sure the donations to your personal fundraising record add up!

In addition to working toward one for yourself, you should spread the word to encourage your friends, family, and coworkers to earn their very own shirt.

Log into Participant Center to check your progress!
