Hope Walks for ALS will raise money for the ALS Hope Foundation to support excellence in clinical care and innovative research to find a cure for ALS. Come out to beautiful Ridley Creek State Park on Saturday, October 4th for a 4.3 mile walk along a multi-use trail. Join family and friends for a day of fun and food while helping to make a difference in the lives of individuals living with ALS. Be the hope! All proceeds from this event will go directly to the ALS Hope Foundation. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), better known as Lou Gehrig''s Disease, is a progressive, degenerative disease that robs its victims of the ability to walk, to grasp, to speak, and, eventually, to breathe. ALS can target anyone at any time, and once diagnosed, the typical patient lives only two to five years. The ALS Hope Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis through innovative and collaborative research while supporting excellence in care through the ALS Center of Hope at Drexel University College of Medicine.
