Join Us for the 2024 Philadelphia ALS United Walk
ALS United Mid-Atlantic will proudly host the upcoming Philadelphia ALS United Walk, scheduled for Saturday, November 16, 2024, at the iconic Citizens Bank Park. This heartwarming event brings together hundreds of individuals dedicated to supporting families affected by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Participation in the Walk is free, but we encourage online registration to streamline the event experience.
A Day of Community and Compassion
This walk symbolizes strength and unity as friends, family, caregivers, and advocates gather in solidarity against ALS. Every participant shares a common goal: to raise awareness and funds to combat this debilitating disease. Witnessing the outpouring of support is truly a moving experience, showcasing the compassion and camaraderie of those affected by ALS.
The Reality of ALS
ALS is no longer an obscure disease; it affects many lives, often disrupting the ability to move, swallow, and breathe independently. It significantly impacts not only physical health but also emotional well-being and financial security. ALS United Mid-Atlantic strives to be a beacon of hope, providing essential resources and support to anyone facing this challenging journey.
Past Achievements and Future Goals
Since 2008, Citizens Bank Park has been the backdrop for the Philadelphia ALS community's efforts, raising a remarkable $7.9 million over the years. All funds collected go directly to support ALS Treatment Centers, deliver homecare solutions, provide necessary medical equipment, and organize resource groups for individuals living with ALS and their families across the region.
