Obviously this has been a very challenging year. The Covid-19 Pandemic has impacted many aspects of our lives. The 2020 ALS Walk is no exception. While we are unable to meet and walk as we have in the past, nevertheless the fundraising event continues.
This is our twelfth year supporting this worthwhile event. In that time, we have raised just shy of $100,000. Thank you for your generous donations. I'm asking for your support again this year and I've set a goal of $5,000.
Stay safe.
